Hey everyone,
Here is my issue. I have a 2001 5-speed. If I am driving below 60mph and I engage my clutch, my rpm's immediately dive down to zero and then pop back up to 1300 and then settle back to 900-1000. This happens in about a 3 second time frame. This happens well above the speed that auto-stop is supposed to happen, as if the engine wants to auto-stop. This becomes a problem when I am quickly downshifting and let out the clutch while the rpms are close to zero, I get a huge jerk as the clutch forces the engine back to life. This situation occurs every single day, almost on every shift I make. The only time this does not occur is when I am up-shifting with the engine under load, or when the AC is set to AUTO, such that auto-stop will not engage. The fact that this issue does not occur with the AC is in AUTO seems to indicate that is somehow related to the auto-stop function. I have read that other members have also experienced their rpm falling on a downshift, but I experience this all the time, regardless of speed.
The recent post "Engine Power Hiccup" could hold a possibility but I'm not having quite the same issue:

Any ideas?
