Hey everyone, I have a 98 Mirage DE that will start fine, but after some driving I will come to a stop and the car will die. I can start it right up again afterwards. It is an automatic and if I shift into neutral and keep the revs up a bit it will not die, and also if I turn on the air conditioning, it seems to provide just enough "stress" on the engine to keep it going. I have heard rumors online of maybe a gummed up throttle body or some sensor on the throttle body needing to be cleaned with carb cleaner? I would appreciate any advice, I really need to get it running well soon.
