Default Problem when stopping??

Hey everyone,

Here's the deal. I have a 6sp and everytme I come to a stop and put in the clutch it either dies or idles down to 100 0r 200 for a sec then catches itself and jumps back up to normal.

I have it now at my shop and they have gone over with a fine tooth comb and found nothing. They have replaced O2 sensors, checked the computer, gaskets, checked for vac leaks, removed and tested the injectors, etc.

The items I have in it are below in sig.

Anyone else run into this in the past, just looking for suggestions. Thanks.
Jeff

i had this same problem for a long time... ended up re-routing my PVC system and blocking off that line that connects from the valve cover to the intake, right behind the throttle body, and it stopped the problem immediately...

i think the unmetered air entering the intake is what causes this whole problem.....

just for beginners stick a bolt or something into that vacuum hose and see if it still does it
