Default Idle & voltage drops!

When i come to a stop and i push in the clutch, the idle drops to the point where sometimes the car shuts off or it gets really close to shutting off. When this happens my voltage drops from 13.9 to 12.0. I already changed my spark plugs and wires.

WTH does spark plugs and wires have to do with charging system voltage????

IF the car is idling extremely low then it is causing the alternator to not spin fast enough to provide needed system voltage, the rotor in any alternator must be rotating at a certain speed in order to begin charging.

Your problem is likely lack of tune or bad IACV causing the crappy idle.

I do have a lightened flywheel but I've had it for a while now and never had the problem before.

I would also like to know the answer to this high to low idle issue. Keep in mind that idle should be at 750+- 50. What is yours at?
