It doesnt happen all the time... When im coming to a stop and i press my clutch in so i can brake without gearing down the rpms drop (naturally to 1k ofcoarse with clutch engaged) but then they go really low (2-300rpm) and the car shuts off... The higher the rpm when i engage the clutch the more likely it will happen... If i downshift while coming to a stop, im ok... if i give a lil gas before rpm goes below 1k, im ok... press clutch w/no gas, not ok...
Has this ever happened to anyone before...?
What do u guys think the problem is...?

Do you live where it is cold? Maybe you should do a compression test. Also have you added mods or done maintenance anytime recently?

I had this happen because of the previous owner had a venting BOV.
Changed to stock. Running excellent. I would test the IAC to make sure its working proper.

Whats mods do you have? If you have cams, then your tuner should have adjusted the setting to prevent stalling.
i got the car with 138k... it drives without any problems (except for the one mentioned)... i do not know if the car has cams or not... i do not hear any noticeable looping with idle so im guessing it doesnt... i've jus recently installed new ic pipes (all), intake, car came with full tbe... thats it performance wise...

definately check BoV. when vented will affect the idle like that sometimes stalling.

I am having the same issues with my '03. I checked for boost leaks and had nothing. I ordered an IAC so hopefully that will solve the issues. Everything points to that so we'll see when I get off this deployment

I have ther same problem with my car, but I drive an Accord.
can you let us know what the fix was for this?
it's really frustrating me.

I have an EVO ix MR and i require your help!
So today i changed my stationary idle from ~7897(came like that from the previous owner) to 5500 to add a 2 step. I tested it without launching and right after i tested it, i noticed that the rpm is lower by around 200rpm during idle compared to its norm. Later when i was driving (Efficiently
), all of a sudden when i would lift OFF the throttle the rpm would spike down to around 300 from what i can see, then jump back up to around 1000, then go back down and it keeps doing that from about 2 -3 seconds until it eventually shuts off the car. This also happens when i push the clutch in. So then i thought maybe i changed something up in the map while i was adding the very basic 2 step, so i loaded the original map onto it thinking it would revert everything. Nope!!!, it did not work. Even thou my stationary rpm is back to where is used to be (~7897), that issue has not gone away. Do you guys i messed something up while i was testing it? Maybe the O2 sensor in my O2 housing since it controls your idle indirectly (From what i heard, i may be wrong or confused), any other suggestions?
