    I have a 89 civic when the motor is at normal temp and i stop the motor
    feels like it wants to shut down when it is in gear. When i when i take it
    out of gear it stops and idles fine. i have changed the plugs wires cap and
    rotor. but it still happens anyone have any ideas as to what might because
    this.

    sounds like the clutch not disengaging properly - probably rust on the
    input shaft spline interface. suggest new clutch and make sure
    everything is cleaned up probably with a little antisieze on reassembly.
