Sheesh, does anyone know how to spell anymore?

I've seen this on many different kinds of cars caused by a gunked up
throttle plate or idle control valve. It can also happen if the idle is
set too low, but that doesn't usually go out of adjustment unless
someone messes with it.

Not very many, it seems. The English language is in desperate trouble
if it continues to be dissected by lazy morons.

Thank you for your assistance. On the spelling, using ’u’ for you and
’ur’ for your, does not mean I don’t know how to spell, if it is not
acceptable to you, fine by me.
But ’Sheesh’ is also not in the English dictionary.

'Text Speak' is fine when you need to save keystrokes or time. When
you are asking for technical help in a forum like this, though, you're
much better off taking the time to spell out the words - it doesn't give
the impression that you want our time but can't be bothered to take any
yourself. If nothing else it slows down the Trolls. ;-)

there's an http odyssey forum out there - odyclub or something like that.
check there - i believe there may have been a problem with idle air
control valves.

"Text speak" hits a nerve with me, I don't even use it in text messages
and cringe when I see it. It's more difficult to read and has a juvenile
and unprofessional appearance. Unless you're charged money by the
keystroke, then I recommend taking the time to at least attempt proper
spelling and grammar. It's not so much being on a high horse, just a
friendly suggestion that taking some time to post something easily read
is more likely to get you a helpful response rather than people
discounting you as just some stupid kid. When you have a full sized
keyboard in front of you, how long does it really take to type a few
more letters? You wouldn't use text speak on a resume cover letter or
business proposal would you? Take the time to ask nicely for advice, and
someone is more likely to take the time to give you a nice response.
Text speak in a public forum is like showing up to the office or a town
hall meeting in boxer shorts or fuzzy pajamas and bunny slippers; you
may be comfortable, but it will be difficult for others to take you
seriously and reflects negatively on you. Sadly, an English teacher
friend of mine says that text spelling is even starting to show up in
homework assignments at the highschool level.

ok, I get the point. Thank you for your time.

Illiterate lazy people's English is what it should be called. It's an
insult to the rest of us who use the language properly.

Re: engine stop when u step on the brake
 

Besides a dirty throttle body, it can be a vacuum leak into the intake
manifold. Erratic high idle is also a symptom of vacuum leaks but small
leaks may not do that. Leaks can be hard to find mostly because the hoses
are usually going obscure places, but if you can get each off the intake
manifold side of the throttle body or the manifold itself and ensure they
hold vacuum (even a "suck test" is good), most of them can be tested that
way. Leaks are usually at one end or the other, caused by cracks in the
hose. The one that leads to the PCV valve will be different, since the PCV
valve is vacuum sensitive. It has to be tested by removing the hose from the
PCV valve and plugging it with your finger.

For the same reason, if you don't know when the PCV valve has been replaced
now is a good time to replace it on general principles. It can be cleaned if
money is really tight, but replacing is better. If it is really gunked up it
can cause the symptoms you describe.

Poor maintenance. Could also be an O2 sensor, but that's highly
unlikely unless it is REALLY high mileage.

Might be the torque converter. If the stall speed is too high it can
drag down the engine.

I am very picky. In fact, I rarely even use contractions. Folks for
whom English is a second language get a break, mostly because they do
a better job than I would with their language. But I also have a
friend who is a Toastmaster (Advance Toastmaster Gold, if that means
anything to you) who speaks on grammar and spelling. And is a
Filipino who didn't learn English until college.

No, it means your too damn lazy.

Um, yes it is. Oxford. Get the full edition (roughly 4 pounds).
