2000 SC2 Rolling Stop Stalls

RGardner · 09-19-2006, 10:23 AM

I just started to have this problem with my 2000 SC2. When I come to a traffic light or stop sign I push in the clutch and roll to a stop, but now the rpm's drop to the point where the check engine light comes on becuase it is about to stall. They drop down to 200-400, they come back up a second or two later. The car idles fine at 900 once they bounce back up. I have no other problems when I drive or start it up.

I have cleaned out the throttle body, and ran fuel treatment the the gas. The PCV valve is clean. What it the world is happening?

Thanks for your help.

The code(s) associated with the SES light would help. Either get a cheapo code reader, or take it to a parts supplier (AutoZone, et al) that will lend you a reader or read the code(s) for you.

Most likely suspect is the IAC solenoid (idle air control) solenoid. When you cleaned the TB, did you shoot some cleaner into that little hole in the throat, near the bottom?

I could have sprayed some in there. Doesn't the light have to be on in order for the code reader to work?
