First off, my car is a 91, 1.6 5-speed.
So today on my way home from work, I pulled up to a stop light, put the clutch in, and the rpm dropped like normal but just shut off.
Fired right back up, went and got gas, no it wasn't low enough to run out of fuel, and then the same thing, came up to the stop, pressed in the clutch and she died. Fired right back up again. I pulled over and noticed the idle was a little low, about 600-650 rpm. Didn't have anything to adjust it at the time. And didn't notice anything unplugged or loose.
I did some testing and found that if Im coming to a stop and press in the clutch with the engine rpm above 2k, it drops normal and doesn't die.
If I do it at around 1500rpm, it will die.
I adjusted the idle when I got home, set to about 750 rpm. But didn't have time to go drive her again and see if its better.
Anyone experience anything like this before?
Thanks
