The other day I was driving my car, got to my destination and put it in park and was sitting for a moment and I noticed my RPMs dropped a little out of nowhere and the car putterred for a second and then went back on running fine. Well today I was driving home and was at a stoplight and the car just died on me while it was in drive with my foot on the brake. When it died a red oil can light lit up on the dash and the thing barely started. It was the weakest start Ive ever heard and cranked for a good two seconds before turning over, but then I made it home fine, no problems. Tried to let it sit again at an idle with my foot on the brake and still wouldnt do it again.
I obvisouly checked the oil right away when I got home. Filled perfectly fine (just did an oil change about 300-400 miles ago, and yes, Im using the right oil!). Also, I have done some things recently and am wondering if this may be contributing to my problem. I installed a cat-back system which I would believe is totally unrelated to this problem, but then I did the fuse 11 pull that everyone talks about to clear the computer so your car learns the mod faster. First of all, Im not even sure if I did the pull correctly the way it is supposed to be done. I never noticed any problems with the car before I did this so i think this may be the source of my problems. Any help/advice/questions/comments with regards to my situation would be greatly appreciated!
BTW, car only has about 6300 miles on it and oil has been changed regularly.
