Here's the specs: '97 ZJ, 5.3l V-8, auto trans.
When moving at low speed - under 5 mph - and you let off the gas suddenly, it dies. It will do it almost every time if you are giving it just enough gas to move then abruptly let off the gas rather than gently letting off.
I have replaced the idle air controller motor, air cleaner is clean, I routinely run fuel injector cleaner through it about every 10k miles. Plugs and wires are about 14 months old, transmission was replaced as well.
Any suggestions?
My gut feeling is that it's the catalytic converter - it rattles, and I know that backpressure from a plugged cat can cause it to die at idle.
Any other ideas?
