Alright I do not know what the problem is, my car will not hold an idle for **** lately out of no where. I drained my battery quite a bit the other night from trying to unflood it doing the egi fuse trick, my voltmeter for my battery seems to be reading fine right between 13.5 and 14. Ill drive my car and when I come up to a light or something to stop at red it will die on me on less I keep my foot on the gas.I gots me some high milage on my car I just hope its not blown, anyone know the problem? Thanks guys
