i noticed as i was getting out to inspect my car that the RPM goes down by about 50-100 RPM when i turn the steering wheel a bit while the car is on a flat surface.

this isn't normal, is it?

it's a 1999 1.8L protege. no mods to the engine except the AEM short ram intake.

i've also recently installed H&R springs - the installer guys left my sway bar a little loose in the back so i would get this terrible clunk/click noise every now and then during my drives. that's now fixed, but i noticed this problem today ...

any suggestions?!

yep, i get the same thing. it's a real nuisance when you're parking and need to turn and then the engine just stalls... wouldn't like to rev it either. damn i hate when it happens.
