Why don't my rpms drop when i push in the clutch on my car? suggestions?
- Thread starter the t3d
- Start date
well, i checked for vacuum leaks and found nothing. i adjusted the dashpot alittle. i also adjusted the idle screw. i unplugged the ISC connector and took it for a test drive and the idle didn't jump up when i shifted. so, i plugged the connector back in, went to start it up and it wouldn't even idle, so i unplugged and it fired right up. so i'm guessing it's using the default setting by the computer? the car idles now at like 1200rpms...even with the idle screw all the way in. can i just set the rpms lower with my SAFC2 or will that mess anything up??
thanks for all the helps guys!

Why would you mess with the idle screw if the idle speed wasnt a problem? Would have made more sense to mess with the dashpot then the idle screw.
Also would have made the process of elimination a lot easier if we had known you messed with that.

well, like i said i only adjusted it cause it would stall out sometimes if i pushed in the clutch at a high rpm for it drop back to idle. the idle would drop really low and stall or sometimes it would stay low and then jump back up
well, yea i figured that out when i adjusted it. it was just snapping closed and not even hitting the dashpot.
Now that you have that figured plug in the ISC and adjust the throttle plate back the way it was untill It runs and idles properly.

Sorry, no. The dashpot isn't needed to prevent stalling. That's not it's purpose and as long as the ISC system is working the engine will recover to idle without the dashpot even installed.
i have no Dashpot i capped it off and i dont have any of thoses ^ problems with 19-21 Vac. at Idle..
i had the same problem with the RPM's rising and it was my Throttle Cable i also put some lubrication on the Throttle Linkage cable area most ppl put WD40 i feel sorry for them :3d_frown:

Well, you can't just cap it off while leaving it installed because that'll cause a high idle. Better to just remove the bleed valve...
stupid question.. what is the dashpot? i ask because i have a simaliar problem as the OP stated he had. Seems like everytime i come to a stop, or just get out of gear and coast in nuetral my car dies. If i give it gas it will stay alive till i let off the gas then it dies. If i restart the car,however, it will idle just fine. Untill i drive and come to a stop agian. Not sure what would cause this. Sorry dont mean to high jack the thread, just thought maybe we have a simaliar problem here.
gotcha.. I just read what jetjock said, the dashpot wont cause the car to die like that.. so what else would cause it then?
True, shouldn't stall still, but it could make the issue worse (especially in the case of running a vented BOV)
my has had the same set up for several months now and has never had this problem before. it just started like two weeks ago. two days ago when i drove it, it didnt die at all, then yesterday it started doing it agian and died every time i pulled it out of gear.

I have the same problem, when clutch is pushed in, the rpms rise ~250 and then go down, or sometimes they stay for a short while on the last rpms and then go down.
The throttle valve is dampened from the dashpot, though could that really be the problem here at all? ISC cleaned, TPS should be in spec. Idles at about 800-850. (no screw on TB to turn, running MAFTPro in SD).
