+1. And +1 to the properly cleaning the iacv or that is probably still your issue.

Could be an early sign of an engine getting tired. We used to increase the oil viscosity in some cars showing these symptoms. Somehow, helped to reduce engine stalling and low oil pressure light. Both rings and bearings could be reaching the limits of tolerance.

If the engine is dying after a long run, on a warm to hot day --- may want to try 10W-40.

Just a thought.

 

pull out the iac, and spin it in a drill. everything else is a waste of time. get it centered on the drill so that it rotates smoothly and its problem solved. mines doing the same thing atm.

 

My s2000 back in the day would do something similar to that. Turned out to be the map sensor actually. Maybe you can add that to the list as well. I did a map whack and tied it down with a zip tie under the hood. It ran like that for a couple of months before I sold the car.

 

Um, not sure how people are overlooking the red flag of the OIL LIGHT flickering...?

From my few years on the forum, this was almost always indicate of major engine failure. Our oil light comes on basically when your motor is already nearly toast.

Edit: albeit it's flickering when it's about to stall... so it might possibly not be the case in that the crank is turning so slowly that the pump can't generate the pressure for the switch to stay open. Maybe. Usually a bad sign though.

 

Um, not sure why you didnt read the whole thread. Several people commented that the oil light is due to the extreme low rpms, likely not something to worry about. If your car stalls, its normal for oil light to come on just as it stalls. His car is simply hovering near stall before it finally does stall.

Fix the stall will fix everything.
