Problem with start up, '94 Civic Si
This has happened to me twice in the course of like, 4 days, so i'm getting kinda worried.
Just got back from a run to 7-11. I get my cigarettes and gatorade and get back in my car. I start it up, it starts up, but then the revs dip really low and it stalls. I try to start it back up and it won't turn over. After a few more tries, it turns over, but it'll idle REALLY low, like in the 200/300 RPM range.
Same thing happened when I went to drop off my rent at my landlord's house just the other day.
Any ideas of what this could be?

same thing happened to me when i first got my used 93 civic ex, and i did all the/still trying to do all the major maintainances
oil change
spark plugs
bleed coolant
tranny fluid
replace dizzy
maybe throttle cable is not tight enough u can adjust it
try the fuel system cleaner that u pour in ur gas tank
it could be a lot of things...clutch pedal adjustment comes to mind too
