Electrical System and Engine Die at Idle
 
Searched/looked at some die at idle threads and didn’t find an exact match.

07 Series 1. Car starts and drives normally. After the car warms up, at idle the stereo will start to die, the ABS and DSC lights flicker, the power steering cuts out, and then the engine will die all in about the span of 1-2 seconds. Once it’s dead it’ll hard start but come back to life, and the battery seems healthy. Keeping revs up at neutral seems to prevent it.

Probably not fhe cat, because I have a fully gutted cat.

Whats the issue?

load test the battery, clean and tighten battery terminals. loose connections cause all sorts of weird issues

Yeah, if the power steering goes out, that's a bad battery connection nine times in ten.
