[240_l3oi]

when i drive my car i noticed that if im in first if i take my foot off the clutch it will not die and idle at about 1k and move the car and it wont die. i mean living on the west coast in the bay area its kinda cool cuz now i can ghost ride the wip ina stick i mean how many people can say they do that. but im concerned on the negative affect just want to know what could be causing this and or how to fix this. thanks for reading have fun

It's not very often that someone complains that their car won't die. Can you try to explain a little better? Gramar and punctuation can help clarify things.

are you letting out the clutch slow? or do u pop it and it doesnt die? i can let off mine and ill roll...but popping the clutch will kill it tho...by the way...you live in fairfield? thats cool...im from sacramento but alwayz in fairfield...

Your bassackwards..............Most people want their car to keep running when it's idleing.

Well if you want it to idle bad and die then you can just unplug an injector or two. I suppose that'll make it die.

Why would you want it do die??

BTW.........Funny, related story.................I had my Z ghost ride into my dads porch one day because I started the car from oustide of it. I didn't push in the clutch thinking it was in neutral, turned out it was in 1st gear and it took off. The e-brake was up and it was on flat ground and it just started right up and got to about 10mph with NOBODY in the car.

I ran and caught up to it right as it took out a support beam for the porch. Demolished the beam.................did nothing to the car.

That's why that switch on the clutch pedal is there. To keep you from doing that. '84 300zx don't have them. lol.

I dont see what is so cool about ghost riding. If you let out your clutch your engine will still try to maintain 1000RPM idle, keeping your wip in motion.

Your car isnt special or broke, anyone can do it. Shouldnt be anything negative.

alright as long as its nothing negative. i was just always aware if u let the clutch out in first and no gas it will die that was just my understanding. but if its fine and theres nothing wrong and no side affects then no big deal

The KA is a rather torqey 4 cylinder. If you pop the clutch out fast I'm sure it will still die, but if you just let it out slowly without your foot on the brake it will roll forward.

So let me get this straight.... With the car in first and the ebrake off... you pop the clutch out and it doesn't die. Well first off yes you can slowly ease out on the clutch without applying the gas and it should start rolling (very slowly). If you are on a flat surface and pop the clutch with no throttle and the engine keeps running then I guess that's cool but I am leaning more towards a slipping clutch.
