Re: infamous 5MT low idle stall
I believe it's already been proven to be the Idle Air Control Valve (not sure if auxiliary or main) that can't open fast enough when the clutch is pushed in and the rpms start to fall. Someone in this forum removed their IACV but left it connected so as not to throw a code, then installed a non functioning valve in its place that always allowed enough air for idle. Boom. No more stalling.
We should be able to do the same thing, maybe with a cheap plumbing valve from home depot, just to make sure the engine doesn't choke when the throttle closes.
I'd love to tinker with this theory myself, but my 5mt swapped SVX just doesn't stall. No idea why but I'll take it
