Idle / Stalling Problems

[jab11185]

I've heard that this is one of the more common problems by a couple people but i'm not all that convinced...so here's the deal...while i'm going down the road and i push in the clutch to downshift or coast the rpm's go way the hell down, sometimes to like 100 sometimes stalling altogether, if it doesn't stall the rpms go back up to normal idle levels. I don't know what could be wrong...If anyone has had this problem and fixed it if you could provide a walkthrough, that would be insanely helpful...thanks :help

mine had a temperature sensor out and when i replaced that it fixed it. i also removed the aiv (there is a sticky on that) but that didnt really seem to make a difference. have you checked the computer for trouble codes? go to

for that, then let us know if there are any

sounds like aiv to me.mine was doing the same thing minus the stalling all together and i pulled the aiv out.when i pulled the aiv apart it had a broken reed in it. car was fine after that.

The temperature sensor in the car works fine...i did switch to 89 octane after it started stalling and that didn't help...I have no idea what an AIV is or where it is, so if someone could help me out there that would be great
