Stalling, when clutch is in
Stalling, when clutch is in
Hey all, I got my car back.. it runs great now.. except the bill I got raped on for a new distrubtor.. anyway, my problem is this.. when im comming to a stop and pushing the clutch in, sometimes the rpm's drop so low it will stall the car. It also idle's right on or just below the 500 rpm line, (just barely enough to shake abit)<p>is this a sparkplug/wire issue.. or is it some vacume issue i've seen mentioned here a few times.. thanks !
Re: Stalling, when clutch is in
Also, is there any timeing thing that could be off with the new distributor that would cause that?. Mind you, it was doing this before they replaced it, BUT it is worse now. It never idled that low, and while the rpm's would drop pretty low before, it wouldn't stall it. (but cut it pretty damn close)<p>Anyway, I bought some new spark plugs.. ill put them in tonight.. if that doesnt help, i'll get some new wires.<p>oh yeah, there is some hose I can check too isnt there?.. thanks all

Check the routing of all your vac lines, trying raise your idle a bit.

Re: Stalling, when clutch is in
behind the clutch pedal there is a plug. Take the plug out and everything will be golden.

Well, it was a damaged vacume line, the bastards broke it when they put the distributor. How much are new ones? (its taped ATM for temporary fix) if its alot, ill go back and *****.
Re: Stalling, when clutch is in
i didnt think that the mx-3 motor was distributor-less?
