My car is stalling when at low rpms, (eg. starting the car, put it in gear and the car just stops)
Is there some kind of known issue or easy solution to this? Maybe im being hopeful here.

Anyway, whateva help is much appreciated.

It could be lots of things. Start with the easy things first. Does it rev ok in park or neutral ? If not it could be anything from your spark plugs to your fuel system. When was the last time you serviced your car ? Check your plugs & filters.
Another thing that can cause this is a faulty lock up solenoid in your transmission.
I'm sure you'll get a lot more suggestions.
Good luck.

4cyl. The car drives fine, its just that low idle speed when i cuts.
Could it have something to do with having low fuel (1/8th tank), because its running ok today, and i filled it yesterday.

not likely..

chuck a injector clean through next time you fill up

check your ISC

check leads, plugs, dizzy cap and rotor

clean out your throttle body

check/replace the oil hose running from the top of the motor to intake, just before the throttle body

replace fuel filter

Unplug ISC, unscrew it, and use some TB cleaner on it. Probably the easiest thing to check, they will get gummed up over time due to oil vapour passing back through the intake (I guess one good reason to run an oil catch can) and will ultimately lead to it stalling, check this, see how ya go
(ps if any of the above is not correct please let me know:))
