Ok. This only happens sometime but its getting rather bother some to me. When Im driveing and i push in the clutch and the rpm drop to 0 and it stalls out. This only time this realy happens is when the car is all warmed up. I can avoid it stalling out by down shifting and keeping the rpms up. The check engin light only comes on when it has stalled out and goes off then i start it back up.

1992 240sx coupe, 5 speed w/135,xxx miles.

Thanx in adavance Dustin.

Check for vac. leaks and possible coolant temp sensor connection. If you have a exhaust leak before the frt. O2 sensor this will through the O2 sensor out of calibration when driving and cause it to stall when you get to idle. Check for leaks in intake between airflow meter and throttle chamber.

Check your vacuum hoses. If you hear hissing when car is idling that's your problem.

If it is a vacuum leak wouldn't it happen all the time?
