A car that stalls at idle but runs fine at higher RPMs is almost always an idle-air or sensor issue. Rarely a major repair.
In our network we see these in roughly this order. Diagnostic comes first — never authorise a repair without a written diagnostic report.
Carbon build-up restricts idle air. Cleaning: ₹500-1,500 + 30 min labour.
On older cars without DBW. Replacement: ₹2,500-6,500.
Hissing under hood or rough idle. Smoke test diagnoses leaks. ₹500-3,500 fix.
Throws codes. Cleaning ($800) before replacement (₹2,500-8,500).
Idle issue. Most often dirty throttle body or vacuum leak. OBD-II scan + smoke test diagnoses in 30 minutes.
