Engine wants to die when braking - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

When coming off load and braking the engine seems like it wants to die. The rpms will fall below idle speed to about 450-500 RPM and hover there for a minute and then slowly come back up to the normal 750 RPM. It only happens when decelerating ( I tried hitting the brakes from a stand still and it had no effect) The car runs strong otherwise. I have cleaned the battery terminals for good measure and the plugs and wires are only 4 months old. Any ideas?

Thanks

Ryan
