So it seems as if after I fix one problem another arises. I'm at wits end with this stupid *** rsx.

But, im stuck with it for now, so im stuck with fixing it.


The other day I was sitting in my car, it was running but I was parked. The car is manual so I obviously had it in neutral with ebrake on.

Now bare with me cuz its a little hard to explain. But the car seemed to almost? die.

You know how it feels when your about to stall, like the car starts to shake a little bit and if you push the clutch pedal back in it will stop?

Thats what it was doing as it just sat there. It would hesitate as if about to stall, then come back up. It happened about 3 times as I was sitting there over a period of about 10 minutes, the 3rd time it actually died.

Ive never had this happen, any ideas?

 

common issue is a dirty Idle Air Control Valve. You could take that off and try cleaning it

 

What he said ^. Here's a link to a DIY if you need it.
