Hi.. I have a 99 Protege 1.6L automatic with 91k on it.
When I come to a stop the car's rpms go really low and it has rough idle and the slower I go to a stop then the motor dies. IF i put it into Neutral the car will not stop. A mechanic friend of mine said the tranny is staying locked in a higher gear and that is causing it to stall.
Is there anything I can do? I am really worried about what I can do to fix this without bankrupting me.
