Weird problem
I was approaching a light, and I slowed down and came to a complete stop. My RPMs fell like crazy. It was down to like 300-400 and the car was shaking a little. I had 3 complete stops before this, and another 3 after this 'incident'.
What could this be? I just recently changed plugs (NGK platinum) and had my EGR system cleaned out by my Nissan dealer.

it's the stroke expansion valve. Happens once in a while during the "testing" stage of the EVAP system. If you car didn't die, you passed...

I suppose a fail will result in a service engine soon light? And a stalled car?
