If your talking about an engine with fuel injection or throttle body injection, the first thing to check would be your Idle Air Control Valve (IAC). On these engines the IAC is what controls idle until you start to press the accelerator. It is controlled by your computer and has to physically move in and out or back and forth to let enough air into the engine to maintain idle. They are mounted right in the side of the throttle body. I would not recommend just replacing the part at first because sometimes using a good carb cleaner in the air passages of the throttle body (air horn) can do the trick. If you look down into the throttle body you should see a small hole maybe the size diameter of a cigarette butt. That is the only place air can get into the engine at idle and that's were you need to spray the carb cleaner. If this doesn't help then check to make sure you're throttle linkage isn't binding (maybe from dirt or rust), and make sure it recovers quickly and completely when you let off the throttle. Good luck

How do you know if your clutch is no good?
A major indicator would be when you push the clutch in, you can't shift your transmission. Another one would be when you push the clutch pedal, it just goes straight to the floor with no resistance, or it doesn't push in at all.
Why wont the 1998 Hyundai Excel start The engine winds over but the car will not fire Only happens occasionally and will start if you push start it?
Hyundai have added a trick to starting the engine - you need to have the clutch pedal in regardless of whether or not the car is in gear. Unless the clutch is in, the engine won't fire.

How do you adjust clutch on 1998 mustang?
On a 1998 Ford Mustang : With the engine OFF - put your gearshift in first gear - put your foot under the clutch pedal and gently lift the clutch pedal until the pedal stops - slowly push the clutch pedal down - you will hear a click if your clutch needed adjusting and adjusted itself
When driving in any gear without the clutch enagaged engine races and revs shoot up when push hard on accelerator but power doesn't seem to be transferred. Sign of the clutch going?
I would say "DEFINITELY" When you push it there- you are greatly destroying whats left of the clutch plates. If you back off the gas and it grabs then you will know.. Baby it until you can fix it ASAP.

How do you drive a farmall h?
That is a very non specific question. Basically you start the tractor, push in the clutch, put transmission in gear, and let out the clutch. You use the lever up by the steering wheel to control the engine speed.
