stalling?

When i go to stop at like a red light or something and put the clutch in, my rpm's go down to the 400-500 range and the car feels like its about to stall, then goes back up to normal idle. Is the normal or does this happen to anyone else?

it happened to me the other day, don't worry, I blame the factory tune for this, it sucks.

I know it's a little nerve wracking because the engine feels like it's about to die. But it's nothing big, however I wold suggest you avoid staying on your clutch a long time (just in case you did this).

Mine has the same problem - finally brought it in. Extended warrenty won't cover the reflash -- but couldn't stand it any longer - when you're in bumper to bumper traffic not a fun feeling -

there is a reflash to fix it, as far as i understand what is going on is there wasn't enough voltage going to the injectors to manage such a fast drop in RPM so it would take a while to make it stable...that how it was told me, along those lines, dont take it word for word

That should be covered under warranty... I wouldnt see why it wouldnt be. Its a factory defect. Not you fault, do back and make them flash the ECM. FREE!!!....

I am having this same issue on my 2.2. I notice it especially in rush hour traffic. Is there a flash update available for the 2.2 that might correct this issue?
