Default Question

I'm guessing it's not normal for an S to dip so low on occasion when you stop that it sounds like the engine is about to turn off but then goes back to normal.

There a quick fix to this one?

My Civic used to do it, and my 04 seems to do it occasionally. Esp when it's half warm. Possibly the light flywheel?

If it's idling correctly and doesn't ever stall, I wouldn't worry too much.

Is an ECU reset the same as for the Civic? Ie disconnect the battery for 20-odd secs and reconnect?

Its easier just to remove the fuse.

Under the dash on the drivers side, a bank of fuses. Right hand side, second fuse third slot.
