Hi, Im a new member. I've had lilly since january 2011. Shes a green 2.3l 2wd manual.
I've had few issues with her so far but this one is confusing.
Last night I was driving home from work, truck had been running and driving for a good
30 minutes when suddenly at about 40-45mph 4th gear the idle dropped. (I dont have a tackomoter so i have no idea what it was at) but it dropped from normal idle to almost dead. Shut it down, i started it up a minute later and it fired right up but the idle instantly dropped and it died (in N). I got a family member to tow me home and almost all the in the drive way i started it and it ran fine. Not sure if its a plugged cat or what? Help.
