88 Civic stalls
Halo forum,
My 88 Civic stalls when I am driving. This happens when I depress the clutch and let of the gas. To prevent it cutting off I have to pump the gas lightly twice. The engine revs drop suddenly when I let off the gas that the car just cuts and pumping lightly makes it come up and go down slowly untill the Idle holds. I have discovered that if I let the gas peddle slowly and ease out the car will go to Idle without stalling but sometimes this is not posible. What to do? Help forum

How many Rpm's is the car idleing at? Maybe your idlle is a little low. Have you had a tune up? Replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor? If your ride is fuel injected have the F.I. cleaned.

The civic revs at 1000rpm on Idle which will once in a while drop to 750rpm during the same Idle. One more thing, whenever I start the car, it revs up well for a minute and then will rev up and down and stall and less I hold the gas or drive it for just a few yards. When it gets hot it will sometimes hold it's rpm at 2k even at idle untill I pull up the gas peddle which seems to get stuck. I did change spark plugs and wires 3 years ago and cleaned the plugs 1-1/2 years ago or so.
