DC5R Owners....is this normal?

[xhilr8]

I just picked up my DC5R today and I noticed something weird and was wondering if its considererd normal? Everytime I approach a light and I shift into neutral and the car comes to a complete stop, the RPM falls down to around 350-400rpms and the engine sounds like its about to die then comes back to normal 700rpm idle. I dont' have idle problems..just when the car is driven and coming to a complete stop.

its not normal, but only a little problem, yr battery is going to die,
my lancer got the same problem before,fixed after put in new battery.

Well when I took delivery of it, the battery was dead after sitting on the car transport tray for 5 days and needed a jump start. Not sure if that may have done anything..I'll see what happens to the car after its driven more and charged up fully.
There was some product I read a while back that revives batteries..its some little bottle of chemical you put in your battery and one guy said it worked absolute wonders. Anyone tried this before?

Buy a new battery. if ur batterys already on its way out. putting a lil bottle of quick-fix in it will make it last abit longer, bt in the end u will need a new battery. don't be cheap about it, its only $160 for a decent battery

as above just get a new battery

no point taking short cuts or quick fix solutions..

[xhilr8]

Strange thing is that when I look at the battery indicator on the the actual battery, it says "ok"...probably not accurate anymore.

Any recommendations on which battery?

[Wez_R]

any battery is good around the 150 dollar mark just call around

AC Delco batteries have handles, while Supercharge Gold batteries have slightly higher capacity than AC Delco. Both are sealed maintenance-free batteries.

buy a new battery or you could overwork your alternator. a battery is cheaper to replace than an alternator.

this doesnt sound like a battery problem.

go get your battery checked for free at autobarn before you buy a new one.

check your breathers if your car has it and check your brake booster.

my car also does this and i have a brand new battery so yeah.

i actually just noticed it today

take it to the dealer and service it man, after all they have the diagnostic computer that should detect what the issue was...
