    Question my vr stalls at lights and has troble running

    right Ive got a 94 VR SII it tends to stall at the lights, when putting the brake on and when sitting in drivethough's and places like that. and its giveing me the s**** in drivethoughs and places like that the revs go down from 1000rpm to 900 or lower and it dose the same with the a/c on too..

    if anyone has an idea whats going on i could use some help.
    its like its almost lost all compresion

    give the throttle body and iac a blast with some carby cleaner (while swicthed off, then while running being careful not to rev the motor up too much as it can cause engine damage)

    its probably best to remove the throttlebody from the manifold, then remove ur sensors n clean it. its most likely full of gunk n u dont want that in ur engine

    I agree with ephect, just don't touch or remove the TPS from throttle body.
