Whenever I press the clutch pedal in as I come into a complete stop, my motor stalls. This happens intermittently. I have a JUN 10lb flywheel. Too light, right?

 

I got a CM 8lbs.. great for the b16

 

do you know how to shift? when i first learned i had to buy a new clutch since i wore off all the friction material and it did the same. hence you must fully depress the clutch pedal

 

I know what your talking about,I have a CM 7.5 on a z6 and the fews times that I have drove it after the swap, the engine will stall out after a visit to the redline. I havent really been able to test things out yet being my car isint legal, so as soon as im driving it on a regular basis Im gonna start to experament to see what is causing it.

 

whats ilegal on hte car ryan?

 

i drive with a 7.2 lb exedy flywheel every day.. i have never ever had the car stall out on me.. b16a swap, btw. (unless i f-ed up the shift into first)

 

i have CM 7.5 lbs flywheel and it idles fine. i stall going into firts so many times. still geting used to it.

 

lightweight flywheels rock. i think Comptech has released one for the B series that is like 6 pounds?? that is crazy!! i want one. my friend has the TODA flywheel, very nice with the Exedy clutch. JDM companies:

 

I have the CM flywheel. No stalling.

 

Mista,

I had a similar problem a ways back. No lightened flywheel tho....

Turns out that my idle speed screw was set too low. So I could drive fine, but every once in a while when I came to a stop and pressed in the clutch, the rpms would dip down below 500 and it would kinda sputter and stop. I guess the EACV just sometimes takes a second to let more air in once the throttle is let off.

Quick Check - Just unplug your EACV wiring harness. If it doesn't start up then crank up the idle speed and hopefully it's as simple as that (was in my case at least).

I always think that it doesn't hurt to start with the simple things first when it comes to trouble shooting.

Good Luck

 

Jan, my car dosent hve any insurance on it. I shold have everything straigh as soon as I get my lisence back. As for the stalling, were not talking about stalling on the take off, after I would haul *** and take the car to redline,pushing in the clutch, and start to slow down the car would begin to stall out. Mista what kinda engine do you have, maybe it's an SOHC thing?

 

I have a B17A. My TB doesn't have that dashpot diaphragm which is supposed to prevent sudden closure of the TB plate. I figured that might be one of the causes as well.

 

holly batman you guys have light flywheels
i was just gonna get mine lighted to 12lbs

hows the car going up hill tho ??
the reason i want a 12lbs flywheel is cuz hteres alot of hills in vancouver and a 7.5lbs flywheel just wont cut it

 

Have a Comptech Alum. FW 6.75lb on my teg and dont have a problem with stalling or hills.

 

Alot of hills? you must live in North Van with all the fancy people than, no hills in richmond-delta-whiterock....

 

Sounds like you have something wrong with your motor, like tuning or wiring or something. A motor shouldn't die when you come to a stop, not matter what flywheel you have....ie, even though everyone posting here tells us what flywheel they have and whether their motor dies out or not, it has nothing to do with your car. Don't feel like you should have gotten a different flywheel or something, they are all basically the same, give or take a lb or two.


Also, all the sub-10 lb flys mentioned here are aluminum. About the lightest I would suggest going with a machined OEM unit would be 12 lbs. That has more to do with the integrity of the flywheel that the effects it would have on the engine.

 

that happened to me coming off the highway at high speeds (60-70 mph) and once i slowed down it stalled, it was the o2 sensor.

 

i got a toda piece, no stalling, even after third gear pulls and leting it fall back to idle.
