2009 Lancer ES Suddenly Dying
2009 Lancer ES Suddenly Dying
I went to go into to work last Thursday like any other day, car started no problem and drove just fine. After getting maybe 2 miles down the road it stalled while moving (was going about 35ish and had just taken pressure off the gas pedal and was coasting). When I started the car back up it died almost immediately, started it back up again and was keeping light pressure on the gas pedal to keep it running and managed to get back home. All i have done so far was spray the throttle body with throttle body cleaner. Before cleaning the car would stall with out me "reving" the engine, since cleaning i have been able to start the car without it stalling immediately. After a short drive id day maybe a mile or 2 when I stop the rpm jumps from about 5-600 to 1000ish. (will post some videos)
UPDATE 09/27/2023: Car now stays at higher rpm 1200+ without pressing the gas pedal almost as if stuck
