I'm driving and the car would die when it's idle and I'm on a red light. It would slowly start whacking engine and start dying I would have to tap gas peddale to make sure it don't die. Anyone know what it might be?

If those compression numbers are in any way accurate then your car shouldnt even be running. Those are VERY poor compression numbers...very :O
