I have a 2001 Eclipse GS with 74,000 miles. Back in Dec '05 i had the timing belt and balance shaft belt replaced, and just yesterday I had the accessory belt replaced. Yesterday on my way home while sitting at a set of lights, my RPM's kept dipping below 500 RPM's and almost stalling!
Any ideas what it could be?

something might have gotten bumped while the drive belt was being installed, take it back and have them check

I am having the exact same problem! Same car, same mileage. My check engine light came on and I had it scanned. Said it was the O2 sensor, so I replaced it. Directly after replacing, I took it for a drive and it is STILL idling at or tiny bit below 500. Sometimes it dips way down as if it is going to die. If you find out what it is before I do, please let me know! I will do the same in return.
