Hey guys, here is the problem. Lately when I come to a full stop at a
traffic light or stop sign, my cars RPM's drop to 200 or so and the car
feels like its about to die. I recently had my alternator replaced.
After I had it replaced I experienced the same problem so I went to a
local shop and they changed my spark plugs, wires, and fuel filter.
Everything was fine until a month later (which is now). At highway
speeds the car is doing fine. The car almost stalls at traffic lights
about once in every 5 traffic lights. Could it be some sensor or could
it be that the alternator i got from Autozone is garbage? I feel like
the car is misfiring when I'm giving it gas after a traffic light. The
tailpipe looks pretty black (didnt really pay attention before). Any
ideas or help would be appreciated. BTW, I keep my car in good shape by
changing all fluids and having routine maintenance done. Hopefully this
wont turn into an expensive problem. Thanks again.

cleaning the throttle body may help

Do a complete tune-up. I had a very similar problem in my 92 1.6 litre
Sentra. Mine almost stalled in traffic lights and had an erratic idle.
I solved it cleaning the throttle body and the tubes that connect the
EGR with the BPT.
Try it and see if it helps.
