About 3 weeks ago this problem first started. I parked my car in a parking garage for about an hour while my buddy and I went to get ice cream. When I got back in the car I start it and it stalls right away. 2 times later I get it to stay running but the idle is very low, I'd say 500-600 in park. I drop it into gear and it goes to about 400, and my service engine soon light goes OFF (it's on because it wants a cat to be replaced). Anyway, on the way home I decide to pull off on a side street and try restarting to see what it does, does the same thing - takes a couple tries to keep it running. After about a week it does it again while I'm at school trying to leave. So last Wednesday I take a can of carb cleaner and spray the throttle body, and I seafoamed it. Last night I get in after a couple hours of sitting and it starts doing the same thing, doesn't stall this time, just idles very low, like it's barely hanging on to something, but at least it's running, so I hit the gas to get the rpm up and drop it in gear and take off.
Does anyone know what could be causing this problem and how I can fix it? I just wish I knew why it was happening, and why it would turn my SES light off because when it happens, it isn't throwing any codes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
