Hi Everyone,
I have a 2005 Accord with a manual transmission. If I'm in neutral or 1st gear and push the clutch all the way down the RPMs drop to under 500 and the car dies. If if rev the engine to keep the RPMs up the car won't die out. Now I just replaced the clutch slave cylinder 2 days ago because the rubber boot on it was smoking w/o any visible leak around it. The car was having trouble starting the cold weather and the batter was old so I replaced that today but the issue with stalling in neutral or 1st gear is still present. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks,
-Mike

Maybe a worn or defective neutral safety switch.

I also have the same car ad the exact same problem and i had a few codes pop up too. If you didnt ion know but mine were for the throttle body actuator as wellas an abs code but i think that's separate. When i cleared these codes tho it went away for the most part as well as i think its a user error where im not bliping the throttle and going back down through all the gears. It typically happens when im getting off the highway and i go from a really high gear (5 and 6) to 2 or 3.

Check your clutch brake fluid reservoir, if it's low or empty you have a leak in your clutch system either the clutch slave cylinder or your clutch master cylinder. If the reservoir is full your clutch is gone
