Car wont idle when clutch is released
#3
ya, its in the air. Could there be something wiring related? I pulled my motor for some engine work and just put it back in. It dies when I put car in gear also, before I release the clutch. Basically I start up car with clutch depressed and when I let it out it dies. Or Ill start up car and have clutch held in whole time, put it in a gear, and it dies before letting out clutch also.

the neutral safety switch forces you to push the pedal when you turn the car on...
the clutch switch has a little spring inside... mine went bad when i was bleeding the clutch, i guess pumping the clutch a bizillion times finally killed it... you can take it apart and fix it with a spring from a clicky pen...
there is a write up on here for it... i'd try that first, since it is a virtually a free fix...

I had a similar problem before in my integra and I had accidently put the disk in backwards like an idiot. I have also had the wires on my 93 Miata unhooked ontop of the trans and my car worked fine just didnt have any reverse lights. But I'm not sure if ur car is the same. Hopefully its just ur switch.

Sounds like you have your neutral safety switch hooked up wrong or it is bad. The switch as i recall is supposed to be closed @ neutral and open any other position.
I actually just went over a tranny swap from an auto to a MSM 6 speed last weekend and the neutral safety switch was an issue for me too. I opened up an old thread that you can search on... i think is was found doing a search for neutral safety switch and it had full schematics on NA and NB cars.
Good luck and cheers,
