Hi Folks. I've got some weird behavior going on. Tried to search but didn't find any threads. Three things are happening, which lead me to think it might be electrical but everything else is operating fine, and the car is running fine otherwise.
1. My RPM gauge is way off when I'm driving
2. Car is trying to die when coming to a stop and sometimes it does - it would more probably but now I'm throttling it when I come to lights so it doesn't stall.
3. When it goes to die my radio shuts off (maybe this is an artifact of just trying to preserve voltage for motor running)
The main problem is it wanting to die when I come to a stop. What was throwing me off was my RPMs were showing at 1200 but now that I realize my RPMs are way off, that explains that. So, are these two problems connected? They both started at the same time and it happens regardless of whether I'm running the A/C or not.
Thoughts?
