So recently when im driving and i go WOT for a little fun and then if i slow down by putting in clutch and brake the rpms will drop all the way to 0. I have my idle set at 700 could the fact thats it has been getting colder have to do with this? Boost leak? I think it must be something simple but not really sure. It really doenst affect me to much though because when i let out on clutch it pops back on.
 
I had a problem like that, my car would drive for about a min and then the rpms died down and the car stalled I had to drive home for about 10 to 15 miles like that, i would always hear the fuel pump selenoid click after it stalled(listen for that, on my car its hidden behind my glove box). My fuel pump took a doo doo on me, and caused my ecu to take a crap as well, after replacing the ecu and getting a walboro 255 that problem never happened again!!
 
Well my symptoms are not similar to yours but that is a good possibility. My stock pump could easily be going. As for the flywheel thing i have heard that too and saposedly i do have one when i bought the car, but i have never pulled the tranny and think it was a lie. I dont beleive i have one becasue clutch pedal pressure feels stock, it grabs slow cant even chirp second, and if it was my flywheel why after 2+ years is it doing it for first time?
O yeah i am sapose to have act2100 fidenz combo
 
Are you recirculating your BOV though? What you described is exactly what sounds like a venting problem.
 
so my car has been in storage since i been waiting to put on new Intake mani, and i was going to check tps and isc when i did that, but i took it out for a drive and noticed it only turns off if i press in the clutch, if i put it in neutral it is fine, but i f i hold clutch in it falls to 0rpms, and bounces about twice and sometimes stays on sometimes not? Any new ideas? Also what is the visual difference between 1g and 2g isc i have one of each and am 99 percent sure i have the 2g one in, but i could be wrong?
 
yes, venting your BOV will cause your car to stall out. my car ran decently when vented with stock exhaust. once i got the full 3" the car stalled and i had to recirc it again. as for your stalling. i had a similar problem and it turned out to be my CAS. at first it would randomly stall as it was derevving. it became worse to the point that it was a pain to get my car to start and would stall just idleing.
