Car shuts off on highway? WHY?
I dont know why but this happens on the highway allot only. Not on regular road yet so thank goodness... This is very serious. But For some reason my car has idle'ing issue I think. Sometime when Im about to exit the highway my car would like shut off. It only happens when I clutch in. My car doesnt idle low at all. It use to but I restiffen the throttle line by moving the bolt more out. The problem is Its already at the end of the bolt and I cant move it anymore then it already is at. So thats some big issue there. SOmetime the car idles at 750rpm, sometime at 900rpm. The way ive stretched my throttle line I think Id be idleing at 1200rpm.. So whats GOING on? Sometime it idles as low as 700 rpm. Majority of the time it idles at 900rpm with the throttle line at its maximum end. Im getting its one of the reason why my car shuts off on the highway. From my guess its because with my knock sensor CEL its causeing my car to run rich looseing power. Maybe the powerlost causeing my car to shut off?
but then I cant let my car idle at 700 rpm because it feel like the cars really choking badly. So i ran up the idel to 800..but over time the car idles low again.. So I ran up the idel now to 900 rpm..but thats the max I can extend the throttle line at. HELP!!! Even with the knock sensor fixed the car still does that I believe.
