Hello all,
I'm having idling issues with my car. I start it up, it idles just fine. Let it warm up, still idles fine.When I drive it, come to a stop sign put in the clutch it will stall. If I put in the clutch, and rev the motor a little bit ,it won't stall. I replaced the Idle air controller a few days ago, same problem.Any ideas? Thanks.

You posted a TECH question in Talk. This limits your chances of getting some really good advice, since most guys aren't looking for Tech stuff in the Talk forum.

Having said that, here’s some help…

See the "Surging Idle Checklist” for help with all your idle/stall problems. You can guess at the problem and throw parts at it, or you can use the checklist to help you find the problem quickly and inexpensively.

The quick and easy way to dump the codes is in there too, and all you need to do it is a paper clip! The first two posts contain all the fixes & updates. At last count there were 24 possible causes and fixes for surging idle/stall problems. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.
