Hey guys I have a 98 magna and it keeps stalling at low revs and it is definatly not the battery or anything like that.
Someone suggested that the throttle body needs a clean but I wanted to ask all of u guys and mayb even a gal or 2.. haha
Have you got any advice on what may be causing it?

Thanks :)

every so often you have to give your throttle body a good scrub down, that should solve your problem ;)
I have the same problem at the moment and will give it a clean this weekends, has always worked for me :)

You can adjust the idle revs using a screwdriver and adjusting it on the throttle body.
Can't remember what it's called exactly.

Or, perhaps you've just installed a new CD player and disconnected the battery. Sometimes the car can stall repeatedly if you dont allow the car to idle for a few minutes after a battery disconnect.
