Another Car Question

a fuel filter will make it stall when you come off of idle to accelerate not when you go into idle. The filter's restricted flow becomes a problem when going from a low to high pressure system not the other way around.

 

Sounds like your high speed muffler bearings are either clogged or need to be replaced.

 

I dunno who taught you about cars but its clearly the blinker fluid.

 

My sarcasm meter isn't broken, I hope.

He would hear a distinct warning 'chirp' if it was the blinker fluid.

 

No, but the muffler bearings probably are broken -- this can be a serious safety issue.

 

My money is on a TPS (throttle position sensor). I had a claim on a Camry a week or so ago, exact same symptons. It was the TPS.

 

Im sure your check engine light was on tho. His is not.

 

Is your rpms fluctuating up and down in idle? Is your rpm's real low?

If so either your throttle body is dirty, and can be cleaned with Gumout TB cleaner, or your throttle cable needs adjusting, to raise your idle RPM.

 

Could be any number of things, but a vacuum leak or idle air valve (sticking/dirty) come to mind as first checks.

There are MANY potential problems that will all cause a very similar symptom.
I wouldn't try throwing parts at it yourself, get someone who knows how these things work to look at it.
