Idle drop issue.
 
I just have a question about a random issue that I'm having with the idle. Randomly it drops very low almost to the point of stalling. Sometimes during deceleration when the clutch is depressed and sometimes when diving slowly and turning the steering wheel. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

More info about your setup. Stock ECU? aidz? any CELs?

Sorry
 
Sorry about that. The car is almost completely stock. All it has is a cat back, and a short ram intake.

and what year is it?

can you take photos of your intake setup?

I have the same thing on my stock '92. My workaround is to not let the car coast in gear before putting the clutch in to come to a stop. If I put the clutch in as I let off the gas I do not have any idle problems. It has become almost second nature to me now.

Here seems to be the fix but I have not gotten around to trying it yet:

Pictures
 
I will take a picture as soon as I get back to the car. It's actually not a short ram. It's an open air filter on the air flow meter.

So no CELs?
My NB did this. I never fixed it but I always assumed it was from all the CELs I was throwing.

If I had a time machine I would go back and tell myself to not be a tard and buy a megasquirt, then after that I would go kill Hitler.

No CELs
 
I've only had one CEL and that was a while back for the ABS module.
