Car shutting down when cold???
I park my car in a underground parking, when i start the car i wait about 5 min before leaving. I drive it for about 5 min and stop at a light my RPM goes up and down from 1000rpm and stops after 3-4 sec is it normal???
And also once and a while when i let go of the clutch and put the car in neutral the car shut's down !!
Anyone had this problem before???
Thanks Will

A cleaning of your Idle Speed Valve ISV is necessary.
here is the link for a Do-It-Yourself, I would suggest you replace brake cleaner in the article, with carburator cleaner, here is the link
