Engine intermittently dying at stops
Trying to fix a lady's car for her.
1995 civic 1.6
story: she drives at night about 30 minutes to work. Says car dies at some stop lights and takes a couple tries to start back up.
I can't get the engine to die on me but when it's hot i noticed the idle rpms drop from about 800 to about 300 when i press the brake.
Parts that were replaced before i started working on the car include. Distributer, plugs and wires, starter, fuel filter and battery.
What I've done: confirmed brake booster check valve is good. Cleaned throttle body, IAC valve, and intake manifold then reset ecu. Voltage reading on battery and alternator check good. Can't find any vacuum leaks (carb cleaner method). Confirmed no oil in dizzy cap.
I did find cooling fan relay bad. Replaced and still have the same symptoms.
No cel
Any ideas? Thx
