Default After driving and coming to idle at a stop. engine cuts off immediately.

Hi, I have been having this problem for a few month's now and I still can't figure it out on my own because it goes away for a few weeks then comes back. Now it's a constant problem which restricts my driving distance a lot. The problem is when I drive after a while 5-10mins and come to a stop at a light when my engine drops to idle when i drop to neutral my engine cuts off almost instantly except that my battery light will dim a little before it does cut off so I know when its about to shut off so I can give it constant gas for it to stay on. Anyone know what this is caused by? I pulled my plugs every couple of weeks and sometimes 1-2 cylinders spark plugs are wet with gasoline. This is a 180-190k h23 motor.

maybe a bad ground. Check all the grounds.

it sounds like those two cylinders are flooding out. Thats sort of strange.

I'd check your battery maintaining/charging voltage at idle. If you can do that with a multimeter, report back to us what voltage its at.

I just want to eliminate any charging/battery/storing problems first.
