Car at startup died several times? Answers?
After sitting for about 2 days as I was out of town (sat outside, couple of rainstorms) I started it up today and drove down the street and when I pushed the clutch in to get to the stopsign, car went smoothly all the way down to stall, restarted and idled fine, and then did it again when gas was applied.
Did this for about 5 minutes, engine ran and idled smoothly and died approximately every time i let the clutch in
pulled over in a gas station, let it die, restarted and popped the hood. Revved a couple of times and it seemed to struggle somewhere around 500 rpm and then evened out. Checked out my cold air intake to see if it was wet or anything from the rain, and it felt OK just a bit damp
Finally, idled fine and revved and never did it again on the drive home.. what the hell was happening? Anyone had this happen?

Could be,
I still don't think it's the IAC on mine. I have this same issue. I get no codes, & the IAC checks out with a volt meter. Dealer refuses to replace it cause they say it's working. If I was to replace it, It's a $70+ part. I'm poor right now so that's alot of money for me.
