So, i start my car every morning, pull out of the driveway, turn the corner and stop at the next stop sign just around the corner to my house. Push the cluth in to stop and the car sputters and dies. EVERY TIME. since ive had the car i have yet to do a fuel filter or a spark plug change.

Any thoughts. THANKS!!

thats what i thought. when i first bought it the first thing i did was take off the air inlet and clean out the throttle body and IAC.

on another note. i notice a real bad squeek from the drivers side front wheel when driving, and im starting to hear something when im backing up. UGH is my stanger falling apart LOL im thinkin it might be a wheel bearing???

I'd try cleaning out your iac with carb or brake cleaner... see if that makes a difference, it did on my 98

I beleive these wheel bearigns are sealed one's. So they shouldnt need greesing, heck you cant greese them. You just gotta buy new. Well if it started running like this after doing the exhust swap and cleaning the T.B and IAC, then i would think maybe the cleaner you used knocked something loose and is causing this or the cleaner messed with the sencers? Also maybe check under for maybe a smog tube leak? I would also check to make shure there is no leaks in the intake system, or a vac leak? Spray some starting fluid around all the areas you disconnected and reconnected with it running and see if the idel climbs? If so then there is a leak. I'm not to experianced with the newer 99+ car's but i know my 95 and 92,93 have/had a tube for the smog going to the mid pipe. Maybe a leak there could cause it but i dont see why or how? If anything if it's leaking at this tube i'd think it would be a more exhust leak sound then causing it to run bad. Now this only happens when it's bone cold tho right? Good luck i'm off to ohio on the red eye for the NMRA races! peace
