My eclipse dies when you come to a stop but starts right up again. I replaced, the altenator, starter, battery, and idle control valve, but it still dies. It will run fine will drive but as soon as you push in the clutch and the rpms go down it will die. After you stop it willl start right up.

First eliminate all vacuum or air leaks in the system. You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
