    Your other post says the same thing, are you sure no trolling?

    Are you capable of forming a complete thought?

    You need to describe what the issue is, otherwise post a video up.

    Because by reading your first post, you have no issue, because all cars go to idle when you come to a stop...

    if you cant provide more details how on earth do you think you can fix it yourself?

    details in somewhat normal wording please.

    there can be a bunch of things wrong, could be as simple as a tune up or MAF clean.

    details about car, work youve done to it maintenance wise. If you cant answer these first, bring it to a shop instead.
