I take it you mean 600 to 650 rpm, which is way too low and will cause the symptoms you describe. The p/s and a/c will cause the engine to die at such low speeds with the transmission in gear. I would look at the linkage real close, before I messed with anything else.


I woke up earlier than normal this morning, as you can tell. Yeah, 600-650 rpm. What should it be at? The question I would have then is why would this happen suddenly, and what is the story with the smoke???
