Car starts and then dies Inspection $94.99 - $114.99 Get a Quote

Hi there. When your car starts then stalls, especially when you shift into gear, it’s typically due to a malfunctioning idle air control valve, throttle body, stuck open (even partially) EGR valve, or an air leak in the intake system. I would recommend having a car starts then dies inspection to determine why the car is stalling completed by a mobile, professional mechanic at your location.
