Hi there, I have a problem with my 1991 mr2 turbo. The car has been recently rebuilt and has 50 000 kilometres on the engine and tranny. The problem that I have is that when I start up my car and its sitting in neutral, and I depress the clutch, the rpms go down by like 200. This isnt that big of a deal, however after the car warms up and I depress the clutch, the rpms go down enough to stall the car out. This only happens in neutral and not in gear. In gear the clutch works perfectly fine and doesnt stall the car, infact I even tested it and put it into first gear and let off the clutch slowly to let the rpms drop and then pressed on the clutch and the idle went up and stayed there. The problem only occurs in neutral, and gets worse as the car warms up. Any ideas on what this could be?

The engine is under load. The transaxle may be dropping the rpm but the idle air cotrol should bump up the idle.

Before you replace your clutch its a good idea to see how the clutch works and the symptoms of a bad clutch. A clutch will have problems and can stop working all together...
