Reply With QuoteSounds like the idle speed controller (ISC). This part is a little stepper
motor that controls the amount of air bypassing the closed throttle plate.
It's not a cheap part, but the labor (or as you'd spell it, labour) is
nothing. Only two bolts and 5 minutes of work.

Car just dying on me
Hi,
I drive a 1996 UK spec Galant 2.0i V6 24V.
It's normally a beautiful runner but over the last couple of days it has
developed a problem. It is still driving really well but when I pull up at
a junction or set of traffic lights the revs will fall and just keep on
falling until the engine cuts out. This happens everytime I pull up.
I'm taking it to the local garage tomorrow to see if they can rectify the
problem and would like some advice so I can expect what they are going to
say and won't get any shocks.
Regards,
Sonars_uk

Re: Car just dying on me
That will be 600 quid labour then?.

Re: Car just dying on me
Try about ~150 pounds for the part and you'd probably have to pay for 1 hr
labour at their rate. You could save the money and get the part yourself
from a discounter. If it's like most Mitsus, the part is common to a lot of
different models. I know the 3K/GT (GTO over there) has the same ISC as the
Eclipse. The part number is different, and so are the prices, but they are
the same. I just put a Eclipse ISC in my GT.

After all that it was a loose air pipe!
The mechanic spotted it, road tested it and charged me nothing!

Re: Car just dying on me
Wow. That was lucky and cheap. That should have caused really bad gas
mileage and a lot of jerking when moving.
