Why does my 01 Aurora turn off when I slow down to stop at stop signs/lights?

When I slow down to stop the car dies. The battery light turns on, but the lights, radio, air, and everything else continue working. I have to put the car in park, and it usually restarts after turning the key over one or two time, but I have to continue to pump the gas so it doesn't shut off again before I start driving.

SOURCE: 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage DE dies when idling

with the battery fully charged try scraping the positive over the terminal on the battery and see if it sparks like a draw is sucking out amps if theres no draw on the battery it wont spark at all (good) if it sparks (bad) you have something grounded and killing your battery.. gl

Try changing your fuel filter and checking your fuel pressure. Can always try runiing injecter cleaner after new fuel filter put in. Good luck

SOURCE: How do I get my traction off light and ABS light to go off?

Try disconnecting the negative cable on the battery. Wait at least 5 minutes and recconnect it. I can't say this will work. But on some of the cars I've worked on, the electronic modules (lamp drivers) that control these lights need to power down for a few minutes to reset. If the mechanic that installed the alternator didn't disconnect the battery this may be the fix. Maybe, not sure, but worth a try.

The idle is set too low, the alternator is not charging enough, poor battery connection, filthy throttle body, dirty air filter are some of the most common causes of stalling at lower rpms.

Next time you replace your battery you need to find one with more cold cranking amps. It is much harder for the battery to produce the voltage needed in the cold. Batteries produce their peak amperage when new which may explain why you have no problems for a year.
