Default Please help Diagnose my problem. Engine stalls and dies.

Whats up guys...I've been having this problem for about a week now. Everytime I get to a stop..my engine boggs and idles below 500 and then dies on me. On my 10 min drive to work today..I'd say my car died on me about 5 times. Once I got into my parking lot...the car idled fine again. Im sure this will come back and haunt me again...do you guys have any ideas?

Same thing happens to me. Do you have a lightened flywheel? If so that could possibly be it. Also I have heard hondata could cause it too. Its a pain in the *** always having to restart your car when you come to a stop...

I dont' think its the flywheel...because many people have a 12lb ACT flywheel...and this problem had not come up until this last week. I've been boosted and tuned for about 2 months now.

Mine worked fine for awhile also and now is starting to have problems again. Im wondering if the tune is out of wack or something. My starter also is going out so...

how do I actually go about checking my vacuum lines? For example..If I were to have a hairline crack somewhere on the line..how would I be able to find it? Also..could running too rich cause the problem?

You could always try to turn up your idle a little bit, also it is getting colder, so the tune will be different.

Im just afraid..that I am now running too rich..and that it would wash out my cylinder walls.
