Its a 95 240sx with the ka engine.
When I'm driving and I put the car on neutral and come to a stop the car stays on idle for a little then the rpm drop way low sometimes drops all the way to the 1st line. So far I have open the throtle a bit more too help but it hasn't been much help. Anyone has any idea or suggestion??
