Car still stalking when I shift (Update..sorta)

stevo · Sep 18, 2002

Well, I posted a couple of weeks ago about how my car's rpms drop really fast when I am driving and press in the clutch, they drop really low (about 500) sometimes they catch and go back to normal idle, somtimes it does not and the car stalls.

I checked my bov tube to intake and it is all nice and tight. I checked all my hoses and vacum hoses and nothing was found lose or off. I did an intake leak test and found nothing. My boost/vac gauge reads normal.

Every now and then when my car is "in a good mood" it will not have this problem and it drives fine, but most of the time it happens. It gets anoyying when i am driving and press the clutch in to brake for a light and my car stalls....

Please help, I am out of ideas...

Raise your idle rpm with the BISS screw. You didn't mention what it was set to but upping it a hundred rpm may be enough to avoid the stall for now.

p.s. My car drops more with brake lights etc coming on when my alternator is on it's last legs (last 3 times anyway). So keep an eye out for other electrical problems followed by no juice one day.

Are you letting your BOV be open to the atmosphere? If so connect it back up and it should fix it.

Today I noticed that it only seems to do it when my A/C is on??

Yeah mine bogs when my ac is on just when i am idling so that might be it.

Anything I can do to fix it besides just turning up the idle rpm?

Does your car immediately stall out once you shift? If so, you may have an intake leak at the intake manifold or even the emissions purge, which is located on the intake manifold, left side.

Well, not imidiate....some times the rpms drop slow and some time (when it stalls, mainly when ac is on) they drop really fast and drop really low, and the car just stalls. My car is only idling at like 700 rpms right now, mainly due to dirty TB and my BISS. I gotta work on those and i will turn the idle up to about 800 and see what it does then...
