Why is my car stalling?
During the recent cold weather, my car's been experiencing a bit of a problem. When I come to a stop and put in the clutch, the revs dip down really low (to 500rpm or lower), then bounces back up to reach a steady idle at around 900rpm. The problem is that sometimes when I'm putting in the clutch, the revs drop so low that the car stalls. Could this be a problem with my idle air stabilizer valve, or perhaps I should just raise my idle up a bit? It's only happened two or three times so far, but it's really hard to look cool when your car stalls in an intersection.
