both of your answers are premature. I think wires under the dash getting pulled on is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. 1 you would feel it, 2 if a wire in the ignition harness was low enough to a pedal to get pulled (never happen), it would rip out/cut and the car wouldnt start again.

the idle is dropping to low to fast, it could be a million things, but the op needs to provide more info and maybe even try opening a hood and looking at the car instead of thinking we can answer a problem with no info and telepathy.

HAHAHA! Yes as a matter of fact I have. No one said aftermarket alarm was in there, still. If that is the case it may be an option, but you would FELL IT! Tell me what wire can short out and cause the car to cut off while running, and then be able to restart

PLEASE tell me this. Teach me please.......
