so now that i have my car going ive ran into a few problems. the only one i keep having trouble with is the engine likes to die at random times. it does it when i push in the clutch and take it out of gear and brake around a curve or something about once a day. if you turn the key it will start right back up though. sitting at an idle it does have some quirks, it doesnt keep a perfect idle, it speeds up and slows down a little, but its nothing bad. any ideas what could be going on? im almost wondering if its the battery, i bought a real cheap battery that has crap for amps, do you think it could be causing this? or whats the deal with the isc on these?

if you look on the front side of the TB there is a screw. there is a sleeve around the screw. take a philips head screw driver and bring it in to raise the idle or out to lower the idle (i might have that backwards). and no there is nothing to ground. i would just make sure the car is up to operating temp before messing with the idle because cold idle can be different that op. temp. idle.
