if it were a vacuum leak i would think he would be seeing this symptom all the time though

 

I used to drive an eclipse before my evo and i got a vacuum leak once where it would idle fine and drive fine but while slowing to a stop or pushing in the clutch it would drop in RPMs or just die. idk, worth a shot i suppose.

 

definitely do a boost leak test with an air compressor first and if everything is solid then I would work on the idle settings within the tune and see if it can be improved...if it cannot I'd be suspicious of the idle speed control servo.

 

Mine has done this ever since the cam install. But the only time it ever really does it is when I pull into the garage. See, my driveway is sloped, and there is I little 1 1/2 inch lip I have to get over in order to get in the garage. As soon as I give it that extra gas to get over it, then push in the clutch, the car almost dies every time. I would say its normal in a cammed, low idling evo.

 

low idle certainly won't help

 

mine did that but went away.... I have 262 cams... but stock bov.... only acts up when I clear the ECU....
