I have 65,000 miles on my car. No maintenance done so far except oil changes, and valve adjustments.

I've noticed that sometimes when I come to a stop and the engine idles, it idles extremely low to a point where it looks like it may stall.
One time it actually stalled when I came to a stop. Anything I should check/adjust?

The car starts up perfect and drives just fine. Its just the idle sometimes goes low (<250 rpms), but usually it idles around 500 rpms.

 

did u just reset the ECU? mine does that too after i reset.... i think it will adapt to the new settings and idle will be ok soon...

 

Nope.. Haven't reset the ECU in over a year or two.

 

funny thing... mine was doing the same crap. I reset the ecu, and it definately seemed to help. Just pull the ecu fuse after the car is warmed up, wait a few minutes, replace the fuse, then start and run the car w/out touching the gas. Shutoff, restart, and you should be good to go... I will be changing out my plugs, cap, rotor, and wires soon, and hopefully this will help. I've got ~53K miles on my 01 R...

oh yeah, if it becomes a big problem, just turn on your headlights - idle should immediately rise to ~1100 rpms...
