Let me give an example:

Im in 3rd gear. About 50 feet away is a turn i would like to take. I depress clutch, shift to second, and continue holding clutch. I plan on releasing clutch and continuing on in 2nd after i take the turn, but my car dies on me and my power steering goes out and makes me almost crash. This is not good especially on main roads when im riding in neutral at 40mph and having to start my car up again. If anyone knows the problem please help!

First of all, check your normal idle speed. To adjust the IAA, Fully warm up the motor. Shut motor off. Disconnect the TPS harness connector. Start motor. Check the idle speed. It should read 650 RPM; If not, adjust the idle screw until you get 650 RPM. The idle screw is located on the passenger's side of the motor near the firewall below the intake manifold. Stop the motor. Reconnect the TPS harness connector. Start motor. The idle speed should now be 700 RPM.
