Default Engine dying while rolling in neutral

I have just changed alternator and filled clutch fluid. Clutch fluid was filled a little too much but then brought back to correct level, previous alternator broke badly after couple of 7K rpm runs.

Car will start in neutral and hold idle rpm at 1k ish just fine. Car can be put into gear and moved backwards and forwards with gas given fine. Traveling above 10MpH clutch in no gas given car engine dies, clutch out and neutral rolling engine rpm dies . See video .

Your Check Engine light is on and there are service warnings on the DIC. What codes are stored?

Check for vacuum leaks.

If it was working fine before. Check you didn't knock off the pcv connection while replacing the alternator or similar.
