    1992 mitsi mirage 1.5

    I have a 1992 1.5 manual 4 spd,74k miles. For about the past 3 months
    everday when I start it for the first time (it never fails to start on the
    first try) I always let it warm up for at least 2 to 10 mins. Either way it
    dies when I take off and stop the first few times (hit the clutch). After
    that it stays started. A related problem is that when it is started it idles
    at about 1100 rpm untill warm then at 800-900 when idle but when I am coming
    to a stop after in gear it will go down to about 400-500 then rise back up
    to 800-900 once I come to a complete stop, furthermore, if I drive it for
    about 20 minutes, park it without turning the engine off, it will be
    fine(idle at 900-1100 at all times,stop or go) but if I turn it off even for
    1 second it returns to the idle at 500 untill stopped. I recently had the
    distibutor and computer changed and the timing was adjusted by a
    proffesional. I changed the plugs and wires after the fact and still no
    change. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Also...I installed a tach and spliced into the coil wire going/coming to the
    distributor, but that was much longer ago than the problems started,could
    this be a cause?

    It sounds like the idle speed controller. Please read:

    One thing I'd try with such an old car is a carbon cleaning. That will
    destroy those new plugs, so bite the $6 and buy some new ones.
