What causes RPM to drop to zero while driving?
If the RPMs drop off right as the engine is stalling then the most common cause of this is a bad crankshaft position sensor. This sensor tells the engine computer what the engine RPM speed is and what the position of the cylinders are. If it fails, the computer does not know the position of the engine so it will stall.
