car keeps dying? Ive been having problems with my TA. When put the clutch in and let off the gas, it dies every time. I got an SES light, which was the bank one sensor one o2, no activity. so i replaced that last saturday, I also reset the pcm. Now it runs better (used to sound a little rough).
Well the weather was finally ok to drive it again, but it still dies when i put in the clutch and let off the gas.
Could it be a vauum leak?
tunning issues? (had it tuned with ls1edit, was fine last year, didnt change anything).
does my cam have anything to do with it (224/224-114, havent changed it).
As far as i know, it runs fine in higher rpm you just got to give it gas, it just doesnt want to idle
It seems to die, just when i let off the throttle . Cause if i start it up it will Idle fine w/o surging. But if i give it gas, then let off IT will drop down to low and die, or pull up and surge. If i work the gas to stop it from dying giving it just a little throttle and then dont do anything it will return to idle fine.

Re: car keeps dying? I have that problem with my A4,Mine only does it when the cam looses itself or when it's cold. I doubt it's the LS1 edit, The tuning never goes away. I usually just leave my car running until it warms up, and then I hit the gas and it takes the cam a few seconds to find itself and it's fine. Even when the car is warm and i start it, it dies on me sometimes. I just re start it and let the cam and the tuning adjust and it ends up fine after a few seconds.
