hey there just recently i've noticed that my gem has been backfiring alot when dropping down in gears and it has concerned me. with the miss firing i think that it is due for a new set of spark plugs, there is also one other thing when i drive and i break hard the car seems to just konk out on me is this because the car is not idling high enough just now it is idling at 1000rpm.

| Yeah just try plugs and points and stuff like that. I cant help you with the cutting out but it is actually meant to idle at 900rpm. |

| If it's an auto, check your transmission fluid level (engine hot & running). A low level can seem like misfiring when revving, cornering or braking. |
