Always With the Stalling.....

[AaronC]

so, for the past few weeks ive been having a stalling problem... when i have the clutch down, and let my rpms drop (at a stop light or something), it drops all the way down to 0.. or very close to it.. if it doesnt quite drop to zero, and the car is still running, the rpms shoot back up to normal range after like 2 seconds.. its only the initial rpm drop that drops low..i could rev the engine after the initial drop off, and it wont dip back down to zero.seems to be only when ive been on the gas for a few minutes before stopping. .it seems to happen more in the first 10-15 minutes of driving too. Any good ideas what to check? its had a tune-up, and new air filter, new oil and filter... so i dont think its any of the usual stuff.. thanks for you help!

Sounds like it needs a good throttle body cleaning. That fixed mine and the symptoms were identical.

Any codes or CEL? If not, take it to Autozone or somewhere else to get it scanned....you might have a sensor that is trying to die. Also have the fuel psi checked. In the meantime you could hose the TB down with some TB cleaner-it won't hurt.
