“I was sitting at a light waiting to turn left. The engine started to idle at almost 2000 toms. I went to accelerate to turn left and I had complete loss of power in the intersection. The engine would not go above idle speed of about 1100 RPM. The check engine light came on. I had to pull over. The code reader says the idle air controller has a fault. This is the second time this has happened but the first time it happened.in a dangerous intersection.”
