   I had the same problem with mine before. My solution was to clean out the
throttle body . Seem that carbon had built up in the body and was
restricting air flow.

 Give it a try you never know.

Subject: DML: Squeaky clutch and dying motor

I have noticed a squeak in my clutch. This only happens when I depress the
clutch and let it up. It happens whether the motor is on or off. It doesn't
squeak when shifting gears, only when I am coming to a stop or still. Are
there any bushings that can be greased on the clutch pedal? Any other ideas?

Also, my motor has died twice in the past weeks. I have noticed while at
idle, it will drop RPM's to about 300 or 400 and the motor shakes, then
dies. Sometimes it will catch it self and jump RPMs up to around 1000 then
go back to idle around 600. Could this be a fried spark plug wire or spark
plug itself?
