Default stalling while running

everytime i press the clutch when im moving the engines rpms drop to about 200 then come back up, but when i accelerate hard then get on the clutch the engine just stalls in the middle of me driving, is it a problem with the idler or what, i almost went through an intersection cuz i was trying to make a right turn and the car turned off when i got on the clutch what is the problem?????!!!

check first: for vacuum leaks 90% chance there is a loose hose
2nd: adjust your idle

I am sure you've heard of walking crank? This is one of the symptoms of it. When you're making right/left turns and/or when you have an aftermarket clutch.
Do you have aftermarket clutch?

thats a small symptom of crankwalk and an almost definite symptom of a vacuum leak. However, he does not have crankwalk because you would have other symptoms first. How do I know? I have had it. And I have read everything there is to know about it.
Your car does not stall after left/right turns, the clutch sticks to the floor after a left turn.
You would also hear a loud clicking when you press the clutch in while idling.

the stalling only comes after these symptoms and i would not even worry about cw unless you notice the clutch sticking to the floor, thats the #1 sign.

Look cowboy, not all symptoms of walking crank are the same. I was doing a 1/4 mile run when I had it.
Just because he's not hearing clickity clank, doesn't mean he doesn't have it.

I realize that the chances are that it is not walking crank. But the fact of the matter is, their is still that chance. That's all I am saying.

LOL, you were doing a quarter mile run when you had it?? You dont just get it during a race, your crank bearings slowly wear out over time, the symptoms get worse, and eventually your car stops running entirely becuase it wont go into gear. And yes, all symptoms are the same, because the exact same thing is happening....
