Default idle issue/dying.

I have a 03 dodge stratus and sometimes when im driving and i slow down to stop it will idle weird & die. But i can start it right back up. It also does it if i start my car and let it sit at idle. It happens off & on. somedays not at all.

Another issue im having is sometimes when i go to start my car it wont turn over, no click; nothing.. but if i wiggle my battery cable and go to start it, it starts.. Ive cleaned & tightened the battery cables so i know its making good connection.

Welcome to DF
Have you clean the throttle body assy and the AIS ( automatic idle speed) motor ? You could have a bad AIS motor or TPS.

Starting problem, does the cables show any sign of battery acid? If they do, replace the cables.
