my friends 95 z28 car dies when it is just idling. after it dies it starts right up no problem no miss or anything. the car runs fine then when he stops at a light or drive thru it dies so any help would be nice. tia

 

No check engine light? Have you checked the plugs and fuel filter?

 

How many times has it done it. How long was the car running for also?

 

no ses light or anything and it starts right up afterwards and runs just fine

 

Is it an A4? Could the torque converter not be unlocking?

 

yea its an auto its has shorty headers,cold air and stall

 

guess the car was running for about 30 minutes or so when it did it then ran fine for along while when it did it again.

 

Having similar problems, stock 95Z A4 of my stepsons.. Won't idle, won't move with out poping etc. Not safe to drive. No oil or water leaks onto opti. Everything looks perfect. Just came out of the blue with no codes.

 

the car is running fine it just randomly does this every now and then.
tia guys

 

anyone else????

 

mine was doing the same thing right before I parked it for the winter to rebuild it. I will follow this thread to see the outcome.

 

we had a car do something really similar...ended up being the fuel pump...the car would prime the pump, start and die, had to put a gauge on the fuel rail and have someone watch that it didn't make enough pressure to keep the motor going.

 

It could be a number of things but since you mentioned that it happens at stop lights. If that is true, perhaps the lock up on the torque converter is not releasing. Fluid change may help if it is sticking. More severe mechanical issues with the lock up on the torque converter could be a bit more costly.
