Hi, i just bought my 240sx a week ago. 92, 152xxx kms, 5speed and yesterday i ran into a problem, i downshifted into 3third and the car stalled. i Thouht mabye i was because i let the clutch out to fast or mabye the rpms were just to low, but after i started again when ever i put in the clutch to take the car out of gear my car would stall. if i could get the car in neutral and not have the clutch in it wouldent stall. after i got home i started the car up agian and the was some black smoke ( the car is running rich). i kept having the same problems i put in the clutch the rpms just fall uitll it stalls, but this time if i got it into neutral wiht the clutch not engaged it would stall too. when i didnt have this problems the car would idle anywherte from 500 - 800 rpm, and im not getting the best gas mileage, i looked into some faq on 240sx.org and all i could find is possible the IAA valve or mabye to clean the AIV valve. i Also found on a local board that it may have somethign to do wiht dirty injectors. I dont think this is a major problem but if any of you have and insight to what might be going on id appreciate it.

Thanks

Sean
