Stalling engine and creaking noises.

Hi I'm a newbie here. I'm having problems with my car.
1.The RPM is not stable and it frequently fluctuates n drops very low when the car is idle, causing the engine to stall.

2. The previous owner installed Blinstien suspension and it always creaks when I move off or go over humps. its pretty loud and pissing the hell outta me

Can anyone help?

Read about it in earlier post and realised its probably the stepper motor. My mech said to change the cat converter. Anyone knows where to get the stepper motor? Im in melbourne btw. Thankx

Yup, sounds very much like stepper motor to me... nice to see someone looking at old posts for a change. There's always www.kempys.co.nz if you can't find any over there.

Creaking suspension. Droplinks and bushes are most likely your best bet. Also a common FTO trait now they're getting old!

Thankx man. Anyway, I got myself one of those fuel cleaners from Shell and they did the job. My rev meter is more stable and doesn't stall anymore. Gonna wait a few more days n see how it goes.
