Hello guys,
I have a 92 240sx coupe. Recently, for about 3 month, it dies out every time I release gas pedal and step on the clutch. the rpm goes donw under 500 and dies out. it was ok when the car was cold, but after it warmed up. it happens. it is not happening every time, but pretty randomly. it really bothering me as I can not drive nomally. anyone know what is wrong with my car. I really wanna fix this problem. did it ever happen to anyone else? please help, I really wanna take care of my car. thank you.

Allen

Make sure the idle air control valve is working properly and not filled with carbon build-up. Remove and clean it or replace once you verify that its getting signal properly. It's the valve that is on the bottom of the manifold at the #4 runner.
