Default Revs Drop so Low, Car Dies

This has been happening for sometime now, but it has occured more lately. When i'm in a parking lot, or driving slow in an area, once i push the clutch in, after moving, the revs will drop so low, the car will die on me. Anyone had this problem, or what the cause could be.

by the look of that 1/4 mile time, it doesnt seem to be hesitating too much...

plugs, cap, rotor, wire, coil, air filter.

any one of these things, or all of them.

or something else entirely.

don't just throw parts at it, but if you haven't had it tuned up in a long time, get that done, and then go from there.

Mine did that after getting my Cams, Cam Gears, FPR, and VAFC installed.

After the settings of the Cam Gears were changed, my car started dying on me during Idle. Fixed it by leaning out the bottom with my VAFC. Doesn't die anymore and runs smoothly.

Also, check your Spark Plugs. That might be it.

Skunk2nR, how much did you lean your fuel out (with your vafc) to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Adam
