I drive a manual 2007 Honda Fit, and the issue is that if I don’t let the car warm up completely (five to ten minutes) then when I drive and put the car into neutral it stalls out. Eventually after I have driven for a while and the car warms up it will stop stalling but it can take some time to get to that point. Any thoughts on what might be causing this issue? I haven’t noticed any other problems with the car, but this particular problem has been going on for more than a year.

Is there currently, or has there recently been any lights or message alerts, such as “ **Check Engine** ” appearing on the dashboard or instrument cluster?

**How many miles are on this Honda Fit?**  
Additionally, when was the last time the car has had regular maintenance performed, including, but not limited to spark plugs, if due according to a scheduled maintenance recommendation?

Have someone check the coolant temp sensor for the computer while the engine is cold to see if the signal is accurate.
