bad idle/stalling!
Saturday, December 18, 2010 5:41 PM
Please help! I have an 03 cavy, just about every day, every time I start my car up and begin driving down the road,the first time I press the clutch in my cars idle drops dangerously low or just stalls. When the rpms drop low around 300-600, it seems like the whole car shakes and the only way I can bring the idle back up is to stop the car and give it a few seconds to recover. If I do not, the rpms will go up and down until it eventually stalls. Sometime my car will stall, start right back up, and stall again. I have replaced the throttle body sensor twice along with the fuel filter. I don't have major mods, just an intake, full exhaust, a throttle body spacer and a silly little chip from the days when I believed the claims of 50 horses for 50 bucks. I have tried to explain the problem as best as I can. Please help.

Yes that is weird I have the exact same problem , where if i put the clutch down to stop the car the rpm start to go under 300 and the car starts to shakes and sometimes it will go from 300 rpms and then jump back up to 1000 rpm like where it should be , and then i find when i have the heater on and my cd player with my amp and subs , that it makes it stall more then if they cd player heater and amp was off, but u do not think that's the issue but anyways i can not figure out what the issue is , when it first started happening the check engine light was not on , but now the check engine light is on , but not flashing , so does anyone know what this could be thanks alot for you help......
