Ok, here another member with this issue and I thought I'd start my own thread. Completely stock, no tune with only tinted windows and a new shift knob. Absolutely nothing done to the engine, exhaust or tune. Car has right at 4200 miles on it.
Just happened to me today for the first time. Cranked up the car to leave work, was running fine. After about a half mile I was approaching a red light, and as others have posted, pressed in the clutch, slipped it in neutral and it just died. Also had the "Run Power On" on the dash. No CEL. Bumped the start button and it fired right up.
Now here's where it gets weird. Temps outside were mid 80's. (Car was still cold engine wise and I had the A/C on full blast when it died.)
Screen readout said it was 70 degrees outside. I knew damned good and well it was hotter than that. And as I was driving, (city traffic) I would shift at or around 2000 RPM. When I pressed in the clutch to shift the RPM's would jump about 1000 RPM's until I let the clutch out. This occurred about three or four times out of ten to fifteen shifts.
About 3 miles up the road I pulled over, shut the car off and opened the door to kill the stereo. Cranked it up and right away the outside temp reading jumped from 70 degrees to 85 degrees. No more revs on shift and ran fine all the way home for the next 15 miles.
I have to take it in for the first oil change within the next few weeks and I'll bring it up to the service manager then. I'm just going to start the documentation process now though for my own notes.
