Engine Quits

[fox32223]

When I am approaching an intersetion, I push in the clutch and take it out of gear. The RPM's drop below 500 and sometimes the the engine just stalls. If the engine doesn't stall, the rpm's recover to the normal 650-700 range and everything is just fine.

I saw the TSB about fast dropping rpm's when over 5000, but that is not the case for me.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Any help would be much appreciated.

There sure are alot of things that can cause a bad idle. The first thing I would try is cleaning the throttle body and reseting the ECU. There are two valves (fast idle valve and EACV) that can cause problems when malfunctioning.

Section 11-84 in the service manual shows how to set the idle speed. http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Reference/1991_svcman/1991_svcman.htm

Good luck
