Default Help People.

recently when i stop at red lights and stop signs, my car starts to vibrate vigerously. my lights dim down and it feels like my car is about to die. then when i turn the steering wheel to the left or right, my car comes back too normal. i had a feelingthe problem had something to do with the idle or the car. (the idle aircontol valve.) i bought a new one and replaced the old one but the vibrating didn't go away. my next guess would be that mythrotel. (the part where the idle control valves its onis bad) but thats only a guess. ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU COULD!!!!!

I had a bad power steering switch and it threw a code. It never really made the car drive or idle differently, just made it so I couldn't get a sticker.

Use the under-hood emissions diagram and check every single vacuum circuit with a vacuum tester such as the MityVac
