hey guys i posted a couple of times about this similar problem but i want some help troubleshooting the issue or ideas. i know i should bring it to my tuner but i really have no extra cash to get the help. im just confused because the car was running fine before i got the tune so maybe the extra power just finally maybe something go bad? the owner of the shop said they had a customer with similar problems come in and they put new seals in his throttle body and the car stopped stalling when in reverse and in traffic when the clutch is being engaged and disengaged quickly.

i tried a new pcv valve and it didnt work. there are no hoses that have popped off either(i even looked at the ones in the back of the IM) thanks for your time!

 

I have the same problem. I think it has something to do with the idle stepper table.

 

how do i fix this? is it in the tuning software or is the IAC motor on its way out? thats what my tuner said might be wrong with it. it makes a ticking noise when its just about to die.

 

I guess have your tuner mess with the Idle stepper tables. I'm not a tuner so I'm not 100% sure. My buddy tunes his own car and said that's probably my problem. We just haven't had a chance to play around with it.

 

i think he did mess with it the second time i went there. it is still doing it though. we thought it was fixed, but it started shortly after i left there

 

Yea it only does it after its fully warmed up. Worst case it could be the idle stepper motor.

 

yeah that would be nice! how much is a new one?

 

Not sure but I have seen them sold used around $100

 

oh damn..well thats better than the 300 on parts geek. i dont want to buy this though if its not the problem! how can i see if its broken?

 

so today i check the iac and it looks to be fine and is going in and out. i check the spark plugs for fun and those are good. what the hell else can be causing my car to die when i push the clutch in really fast? can the seals really leak that much when im not even in boost and basically coasting to make the car stall?
