Well, maybe you have, so good for me when you give the answer:>..
Anyway, this happens after I'm around 4000 revs in 3rd and 4th gear and I let go of the throttle w clutch pressed of course. The needle sinks fast like always but now it's been going into the 500 rpm region, and even down to 100 until it dies. In other words, I can kill it at will. The weird thing is that if I shift fast, and am at throttle, or w/the clutch engaged, the car won't die. In order for it to die, I have to press the clutch (as when shifting), and let go of the throttle longer than usual (in other words, no load).
I didn't notice until now because I shift kinda fast, and am either pressing the throttle, or too high on the rpm's for it to die.
so I'm thinking it's an ignition thing....distributor, battery, alternator, cables, plugs or something. Any guidance where to start?
