Is the neutral switch. I ordered it and when I replace it I ll inform you.
Costs 130 €.
Neutral switch is replaced and everything works fine so far.

Check this and tell me what you think.
It s stops when I'm pressing the clutch.
Mine has started doing the same thing. The first time was the other morning on cold start after maybe 2-3 minutes of idling, ambient 70 degrees F. Then last night it did it when I got home when the car was hot, ambient 95 degrees F. I don't have a cat so that's probably not the issue. I didn't have any codes besides cat efficiency (which I've had for months and is normal for cat delete). Mine also drops to a normal idle when the clutch is pressed. Did anyone end up with a solution?
