1.8L 93 eclipse GS dies at stop lght

[Fuscien]

When I try to start my car up, itll just die instantly. I can keep it running by hitting the gas pedal and keep it at 1k manually for a few seconds, but whenever I put load on it itll die when stopping or pushing in the clutch.

A little History:

I had the idle surge problem, replaced the IACV and the ECU, and its worked fine ever since
The coolant light is on while driving
The oil gauge always reads the middle dash when hot, never goes above even under immense load (5-6k rpm)
I had the battery tested at autozone, they said it was a dead battery, but when I turn the car on every light works, radio etc.
I have tried unplugging the positive battery terminal for 30 seconds, and replugging, did not work
I've tried unplugging the MAF, starting it, then re plugging and starting again, did not work
Fuel tank is full
low fuel light does not work anymore
No engine codes/check engine light

Sounds like you have more than one issue going on. I'd check for a vacuum leak first.

Could also be fuel related.

Also if the coolant sensor is toasted, it will make it run really rough. Should throw a code though.

try cleaning your throttle body . don't spray inside just get a rag and spray some carb cleaner on it open the throttle and wipe inside . if that doesn't work try turning the biss screw out a 1/4 of a turn . the biss screw is located on top of the throttle body . there is a rubber plug you have to remove to get to the screw .

I heard you have to ground out certain areas to do this or something like that. Or can you just turn it out?

If you are talking about setting timing then yea you have to ground a wire . you are just letting more air to bypass when you turn that screw out which is going to increase your idle .
