ok i tried changing the idle up to stop this but it still happens.....ok here i go
car: 1991 honda civic hatch 1.6L DOHC
my idle dies when im driving and push the clutch in, only sometimes, but it sometimes just drops all the way down and my car shuts off and if im at a stop it wont start with the key it just keeps turning over...
any suggestion to why my car won't make a "hot-start" i guess i could say.... its like when i pump gas i try to start my car after pumping and it just turns over without starting up i have to wait til the engine cools down and it starts....
my temp. guage never hardly moves off completely cold usless the engine is warm and im sitting a stop light...but it quickly goes back down after i start moving.
im thinking:
-can the thermostat be stuck open and would this make my idle all messed up?
-i've heard that you can have a hose somewhere undone that would cause this? (to the tb of course)
-computer reset, help???? how to?
-could a shot of carb and choke cleaner in the intake clean it out a bit?
thanks for help if you guys can help.... love to drive it but its much more unreliable with these 2 problems....and 15 mpg in the camaro blows....lol
thanks in advance!
