here's a hint to the more clueless users...when it dies keep it in gear and just press and release the clutch (you may have to floor the gas also). if you're rolling, the spinning driveline will cause the engine to turn over and start to run. i do that a lot more often than i should have to thanks to a ****ty IAC valve.


oh ps, make sure you're in a gear that will put you at least above idle rpm or else it will just struggle and die again.
