When I drive my 96 cobra evrything is good. But when I idle, I idle anywhere from 500-700 RPM. Is this normal? I'm talking when a go from 45 to stop at a light, I push the clutch in and the RPM's go down to the 500-700 level - I know the RPM's should go down but that low? As here is the kicker - If I am stopped at a light, and the car in front of my inches up, then I will inch up too and when I stop from inching up, the RPM's go to 0 from when I revved to move forward and as a result, my car will die. Has anybody experienced this or know my problem?? This was happening before but then I cleaned my IAC out with some Q-tips and carb cleaner it did not do it for a couple hundred miles and now its doing it again and driving me nuts!!
