So yesterday it was cold and pourin down rain and i go out to my car start it and it dies. So i try startin it a couple more times and it decides not to hold idle. It was basically a cold start i drove it like 4 hours before that and ran fine it will run fine as long as i keep on the gas and when i kept it runnin i took it down the road and it ran better than it usually does, until i get off the gas and push in the clutch and then she dies. i checked air filter stuff like that its all stock stuff i cant figure it out. Anyone have any ideas i thought it might be bad gas but it ran fine earlier in the day.

Mileage?

Check your spark plugs?

Corrosion around battery terminals?

Engine light or oil light on?

Well theres no lights on and theres 32,000 miles and i put in new spark plugs like 2months ago i got the mopar ones for now, and the battery is fine cause it runs good as long as i hold a idle for it but as soon as i race it for awhile it will hold idle again.

Could be something with the IAC (Idle Air Control)

well this happened to me once before but not as bad it would just do it until i gave it some gas after it started up but after that i sprayed the tb with cleaner and put a new air filter on and it was fine ever since til yesterday. But i dont know, what i should do if it is the iac?

Do you not still have warranty? Or are you just outside of it?? If you have warranty, why bother? Take it to the stealership....

no there isnt any codes for it i wish there would have been though. Yea i still got the warranty but it doesnt do it all the time im not sure if they would be able to figure it out. Im wonderin if a clogged cat would make it do that?

If it is under warranty make them fix it.
