Need help! (idle dying, stumbles, etc.)
 
When my car is warm, say after coming off the highway and I pull up to a stoplight. If I blip the throttle or gas it a bit to ease forward to make a turn at the intersection, after I let off the throttle the car idles way down, stumbles and wants to die unless I keep giving it a little gas. Doesn't do it when cold. Any ideas.

Thanks but it's not the clutch switch. It doesn't do it when cold. It does also do it when in neutral. I'm thinking some sort of fuel problem. I'm gonna change my plugs today and see if it helps. They need it anyway.

How old is your O2 sensor?

It doesn't have to happen when cold as well to be the clutch switch. Many people only experienced the problem after their had been running a while. However, after ignoring the problem, as the switch began to completely fail it would exhibit more symptoms. It may just be getting worn out as you use the clutch more so it seems like it only happens once its warmed up, but it's more of the clutch usage. The switch has a spring in it that just gets worn over time.

Since its easy to check, I would still suggest checking it. It's not like you have to pull the engine out to check it. ;)
