As you can see, there are many things that can be the cause of an idling problem. This section will attempt to narrow it down, but expect some trial-and-error. Skip to the section that applies to you: Engine Idle Is Too Low Or Stalls or Engine Idle Is Too High. They are in a general most-likely-to-occur order.
1 Get inside a home, building, or hard top automobile (not a convertible). Although you may be injured if lightning strikes your car, you are much safer inside a vehicle than outside.  Remember, rubber-soled shoes and rubber tires provide NO protection from lightning.
If a member of your household is struck by lightning in the shower or in any room, call 9-1-1 immediately and begin CPR or mouth-to-mouth, as necessary. FEMA suggests that you also look for burns, nervous system damage, broken bones and hearing or vision loss.
