I been having problems with my car, when I start it, it turns off as soon as the rpms drop, so I have to rev it to keep it on, and also when I'm driving and I put it in neutral, as soon as the rpms drop, it turns off, I've changed the fuel filter but no results, any help?

Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil:

Have you tested the fuel pump for the proper electrical spark going to it?

I changed the fuel filter but nothing seemed to happen, would it have to do with the alternator or batter?

Same thing was happening to my partners Skyline, turned out 2 of his coil packs had cracks in them.

If you can't afford new ones Araldyte or clear nail polish seals up the crack temporarily. Wrapping the metal surround in electrical tape helps as well.

Do you know of a website that would sell the coil packs?

I am in Australia so I won't be much help with parts in America.

Hopefully one of the car experts can help you out.

Do you have any parts stores in your area?
They should be able to order them in for you.
If you can, take them out first and check though, they can be pretty pricey.

Would I have to replace the ICM? because I was doing some research, and it says that when they get old they become heat sensitive, and here in Texas during the summer days (NOW) it reaches 100 degrees, and during the day is when it mostly happens, at night doesn't happen as much

Definitely replace the ICM and coil--both of these items breakdown under heat, over time.

OK thanks a lot for your help

I changed the coil pack and the problem is still going on, and also the car idles around 500rpm is that too low?
