Default What is wrong with my Idle? Car turns OFF!

My RPM's are going below 1000(Idle) whenever I go into neutral and or come up to a full stop making my car turn off. It's not the battery or the alternator! Reading about it before, I a lot of people say it could be the MAP sensor? WTF is up with my ride? Has anyone had this problem before? How did you fix it? Thanks!

bad map sensor or you're not downshifting (do you just coast to stops?)

I usually coast, unless I'm about to stop from a high speed. Thanks for the helpful link! I was surprised how many people have had this problem! I have a MAP sensor to clean now and hope that everything gets fixed.

i vote for IACV or which ever system is used for the f20 motors. I use to be an Acura Tech and these use to see this go bad more than often. Symtoms also match.

What's the mileage? try cleaning your throttle body and clean ur idle air control valve located on the throttle body, that may fix your problem.

somtimes the piston in the iacv gets stuck, carburator cleaner should clean it out. if that doesn't fix ur problem you should replace the iacv, im confident its the problem.

Default Throttle Body/Map Sensor Results!

So I take out my throttle body as well as the map sensor and clean them both. I put them both back on and wow..... I was impressed. I haven't had the problem since. Good looking out to all the people that help! "It did work!"
