1999, slow idle, stalling

[Ciana5]

:help: When I stop at a light or in traffic I have to step on the brake while still holding the gas pedal or else I just stall and if I do it takes about 10 minutes to be able to start the engine again.

Any ideas on what to do? Garage played around with the car computer system a couple of times but hasn't fixed anything. I think I need to augment the idle speed, how can I do that?

Thanks a bunch to all replies

Sounds like the crankcase isnt venting properly. Check the pcv valve, this can cause erradic idle, and build a postive crankcase vaccum which will prevent the engine from sucking fuel. Also check any vaccum lines under the hood for a leak. Some soap and water solution should work well for that. Just a few tips. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip, will take a look under the hood and see what I can do.
