Hey All,

I'm having a problem with my 3rd gen's idle.
The car drives fine and it makes great power. But, sometimes when going from stop to reverse the idle drops really low and wants to stall. When I rev the engine the idle returns to normal. Any ideas what my problem could be? I have good compression just incase you wanted to know.

Thanks,

Matthew Walsh

 

Bump?

 

Any body?

 

It could be your map sensor. Try checking that.

 

The MAP sensor is on the drivers side firewall no?

yup...on the firewall (upper part)

 

Check your clutch switch, the one mounted high on the clutch pedal mechanism.

I second this...

 

Would the switch need to be replaced or just adjusted?

 

Better off replacing it. Tweeking can be fun at times. Most of the times though, a new one is always better.
