I have a 1995 Mazda MX-3 RS 4 Cyl 1.6L engine. Very recently, I have been stalling when I slow down or stop. When running at normal speeds, it is fine. I have changed the spark plugs and the fuel filter, but the problem persists. What else could be causing this issue? The engine only has about 90,000 original KMs on it, and it is regularly maintained...any help would be great! Thanks!!

i'll tell you what people have told me: raise your idle!
take it in for a tune up (minus the spark plugs and such) and if it still stalls, you can raise the idle which increases the rpm at low speeds. so its like giving your engine a bit of a rev when its not really moving, to keep it from shutting off. hopefully, you'll get some help from this or any other answer!

Check under the hood for a loose or cracked vacuum line if you don't find any try injection cleaner to clean the injectors. Good Luck

Could possibley be a vacuum line especially if it stalls at idle.
