I just got a GS-T eclipse 2 months ago and out of nowhere this week I'll be braking and soon as I'm stopped, I will feel a rumbling underneath me and the car just dies. Could anybody help me and tell me what this is/what I need to do?
 
Could be a lot of things but I would start looking for any Vac lines that are broken or leaking.
 
I had a similar issue! And was the ISC and I never got CEL.
Try this! Let the car idle and turn the AC on or put any load to the engine without revving and if it stalls or the rpm get really low (400-500rpm) the it might me the ISC you can remove it and check the resistance on the coils!
 
scan for codes if you don't have any it could be a dirty throttle body . try turning the minimum airflow screw out a 1/4 of a turn to see if that helps . that is the screw in front of the throttle body it could have a rubber plug covering it . if that helps then your throttle body is dirty and it doesn't bypass enough air to keep the car running.
 
Had a similar issue with my 91 GST. My car would randomly rumble and stutter all over itself. The issue ending up being bad caps on ECU. Do you hear any clicking around the radio location when it starts to stumble?
 
rumbling? may be the clutch still slightly engaged, did you push it all the way down? if so, may need to be adjusted a little.
 
Yeah, like a lot of people said it could be a number of things.
First I would determine whether or not its an electrical issue and go from there.

Does the car Idle at all? And what does it idle at?
 
Before you go replacing stuff, although you MAY need to, do your maintenance first. I would clean throttle body, check all vacuum lines and fix, adjust biss screw, fix boost leaks PROPERLY, also make pcv valve is functional. After all checks out, adjust tps/test or replace. Get black isc.
 
Did you ever get this resolved? I had this problem but it would only stall when I had the AC on a hot summer day when it was 100+ if I didn't have the AC on it would idle fine and not stall.
