thats really weird. Cuz i cant think of anything else that would cause the car to stall other than a boost leak. Maybe check your spark plugs or wires. Does your car feel fine while you are boosting?

yeah it does, it runs perfect, when it doesn't die it idels perfect. Sometimes it take a second for the idle to staelize but that is it. And it only dies after I rev it and the RPMs come down (when the clutch is in) Keep in mind when the car does stall when I rev it I can hear it misfire once or twice. Any ideas? Also I am running BPR7ES and Beck/Arnley wires (They have worked perfect for about 6 mo.)

when you drive and you hit the brakes does it go below idle? also when you rev it does it go up and then like studder all the way at the bottom? when you rev it does it studder on the way up?

It goes below idle when I put the clutch or put the clutch in and hit the breaks above 3k RPMs. When I rev it, it only really studders at the bottom (except there is like 1 or 2 misfires ocassionally on the way down).

How does the choke work? Could it be possible that the coolant temp sensor that i installed is causing the choke to stay on or something? (When the car is warmed up it idles at 750 now tho.)

oh that could be a possibility. Check the inside if the Throttle body and make sure its clean. If not take some Carb Cleaner and wipe it down.

Plugs and wires?

What are you currently running, when did you last change them?
