Engine stalling when hitting the clutch.

[z5367489]

The engine is running stable when cold starts.
Runs well in gear but when I stops at traffic lights and hitting the clutch, rpm drops under 500 and sometimes stall. Somehow it can starts up straight away...

Mine is a 93 b16a Eg... why would this happen and how can i fix it? Anyone help?

IACV needs cleaning.

Thx mate!

after cleaning the IACV, problem remains after 15mins drive.... any other reasons causing that??? HELP....

Does it only happen when you come to a stop and clutch in?

If you put it in first, clutch in while rolling at 20k or so, do the revs drop? Or put it in neutral and clutch in.

Maybe the clutch is dragging ie not fully disengaging when the pedal is in.

However, if it fixed then came back after 15 mins I'd suggest its got something to do with iacv/ the intake and all its associations.

On your model there will also be an FITV (fast idle throttle valve) mounted beneath the throttle body. This also probably needs cleaning and possibly readjusting. Google FITV and you should get several instruction threads/videos on how to do this.

Here's one. http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1564019

P.S. : It only occur when stopping and clutch in.

What if you're stopped, in neutral, then clutch in and put it into first while still stopped with your other foot on the brake?

acting normal

Q1. Is this happening when the engine is warming up (from cold start)? Q2. Is it happening only once engine is fully warmed up? Q3. What idle revs is your engine doing (no load, in neutral) at start up (cold) and once fully warmed up?
