2G Weird Bogging Issue

[Ferp]

So I have my Eclipse back together but now I have just one issue. Sometimes when I start the car it'll stall out right away, but if I catch it in time and give the car a little bit of gas it'll idle fine. And sometimes when I'm in bumper to bumper traffic and give it just a little bit of gas the car will stall out whilst moving in 1st gear. I have no clue what the issue is.

Does it always do this, and immediately after startup, or only when it's warmed up?

Turbo model? Could be a vacuum issue

Boost leak test my friend.

So after start up when it's warm it'll stall out it if I don't give it gas. And at red lights etc when I give it a little bit of gas to inch forward it stalls out.

A few things to look at. As a bandaid you can adjust your BISS to make the idle not dip so low that it chokes. You may want to look at the condition of your throttle position sensor and possibly your ISC as well. Those going bad can affect your idle. Check for vac leaks too. It wouldn't be a boost problem if this is happening at low load/low RPM.

So I found the issue. There was a tiny leak along my air intake, the hoses weren't clamped on tight enough. Shes running like a dream and no more random stalling. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.

Good stuff, an easy fix is always a sigh of relief

That's why a boost leak test should be done as preventative maintnece. Like every other oil change or somthing .
