Not too often, but probly 3 out of 10 times when I come to a complete stop, rather than idling smoothly, my rpm will drop to zero, and my car will just die. Sometimes, it drops to zero, but it barely manages to save itself and comes back up to idle smoothly. what could be causing this???

 

ya happens to me too.

 

alternator amybe but i don't think so in my integra when the alernator started going my enigne rpms at idel didn't put out enough electricty to keep even the gauges going so the tach would drop adn then the engine would die out but since it's sparatic i ahve no idea

 

I should add, I replaced both idle control valves, I have a new O2 sensor, adjustable cam gears, adjustable fpr, cai, header, exhaust, umm....I think that's all. Would any of these contribute to it?

 

the idle control valves might be a part of it.

 

I replaced them w/ factory ones, so I kinda figured that ruled them out

 

i had that problem with my old daytona. The fuel filter needed to be replaced and the fuel pump was wearing down.

 

wat are u setting the fpr at

Try Changing TPS Sensor.

 

k, i figured out what it was. I didn't know what the stock fpr pressuer is, which is 36-43. I had mine set @ 70!!! so yeah. it was leaning out REAL bad & dying
