Serious Evo Idle Drop
I've noticed the past two weeks; when I pull up to a stop light, sign, etc, and press the clutch to put the car in nuetral, the idle bottoms out to about 300 rpm for a second, then jumps back to regular idle (1000 rpm). I can almost duplicate this every time. I DID A SEARCH, and didn't seem to find anything...
Does anyone have any suggestions? I know if I take this to a dealer, and they don't 'see' the problem, they'll blow me off...any clue???
The car doesn't have 1000 miles on it yet, and it's been driven like that of a grandma's car...

I have the same problem. Mine even stalled once. It seems to happen when it's really hot, the A/C is on full, and have to inch forward (heavy traffic or drive thru).
this weekend I installed a grounding kit so I'll see if that fixes it at all. Too early to tell yet.
I'm completely stock.

Try the ground kit.
I was having rough idle problems, it fixed mine. Idles smooth, even when the idle occasionally drops below 800rpm.
Just do a search on "earthing kit" or "ground kit".
I bought my cables at autozone, premade. I just got their 4 guage batter ground cables and it cost around $20.

Yeah, the same thing happens to me once in a while...it never stalls, though...I figure it's just the hot, humid air...can't wait until October and all that cool, dry autumn air!

Mine does it all the time with the AC on. It has only stalled once, but it is extremely annoying. It did it completely bone stock too. Sounds like the ISC isn't working very well to me.
