Car Idle Speed / Stalling?

Question:
Does anyone know what the rev counter should be when iddleing in a petorl for focus 1.6. My revs are sitting at just under 750 rpm and my car often stalls when you break.

What the heck is wrong with my car!?


Does anyone know what could cause this and how to fix the problem. Many Thanks

Answers:

How do I know if it is my fuel pump is bad when my gas needle is not working?

I had the same problem with my VW Golf. I got a diagnostic check done but no codes were given. Cleaned out the throttle body with carb cleaner and then reset it with a VAGCOM. Since then the car idles very smoothly at 850rpm (was just under 1000rpm before) and hasn't cut out since.

If it's a Ford then it's probably electrical. Try replacing a sensor, maybe the air fuel sensor.

What brand of air filters is the best? How will it affect my fuel economy and my acceleration?

You may have to get the timing checked or could be you have a faulty clutch.
If you are a member of RAC or AA ask for help.

Do I need an oil change?

mmm...lotta times in cases like this, it's as simple as a vacuum line. what's happening is that, your brake booster is pulling power away from your engine, which has very little to begin with due to the low idle, sometimes it's obviously too much and *poof* it dies. I would look under the hood and make sure that all your little half-inch and 1/4 inch hoses you got going on in there are all connected, there's no cuts in the lines, etc.

If worse comes to worse, you can actually adjust the idel speed with a screw under the hood, right on your intake manifold. where the gas cable hooks up, there. But that's a temporary fix at best.
Best to get at what's causing it at the root.
