01 Cobra Cutting Off

[Blk01]

My Buddy has a 2001 Cobra and when you hold the clutch in and break for a while, not downshifting, the engine will cut off. I was wondering if this was some safety thing or what. Does anyone know what this could be???

I dont know why it happens but my 01 GT used to do the same thing then it just stopped. Ive heard of others with the same problem.

Thanx

Thanks buddy, I'll be sure to pass on the info, its not a real problem unless your a total idiot and cant tell that the car has shut off. Has anyone else experienced the problem. It dosnt occur all the time, only once in a while.

my 02 gt was doing it. id be cruising along, push in the clutch, hit the brake and start turning-and it would go dead. it was the Idle air control valve going out. had it replaced-and hasnt done it since.
