    2001 Mitsubishi Mirage LS Coupe Dies When I Hit the Clutch

    My car runs great usually but in the last week it has begun to die
    when I hit the clutch to come to a stop. I can start it back up
    right away as long as I keep the gas pressed. Also, when I’m coming
    to a stop, I can keep it from dying sometimes if I keep the gas
    pressed. Any idea what could be causing this and how much it will
    cost to fix? Thanks

    Idle speed controller (ISC). It is a stepper moter that allows air to bypass
    the closed throttle plate. They usually get gunked up with carbon and sticky
    gunk. You can try to clean it and hope it fixes it. The part is about 200
    bucks and takes about 15 minutes to change if it must be replaced.

    Todd,

    The info you posted was great, but where is that switch located if I’m
    trying to fix the same problem on an ’03 Lancer. I had it scanned and
    the code was P0507, throttle control system. Please advise.

    Can you give me some insight on how to fix this problem... It started
    about 5,000 miles ago, right now I have 40,000, the "service engine
    soon" light came on. I had Autozone check my system with the scan
    tool and the code P0507 came up and also said throttle control system.
    So now when I push in the clutch and I’m turning or coming to a stop
    my rpms drop to zero and the car stalls. The light went for like 4,000
    miles and yesterday came back on. What should I do? Please advise.
