hello i have a 1999 eclipse gst i noticed that i had a small miss and thought that it might be my injectors so i took them out cleaned, flow checked them replaced the seals and reinstalled them into my car. this is where i started having a bigger issue. after i did this i started my car and it idled fine but once i put it into any gear and try to disengage the clutch is seems to want to just kinda bog and then die. if i have it in neutral i can rev it up and it will idle fine. its only when i try to take off and depress the clutch pedal that it dies. if anyone has any question i would be welcome to answering then thanks!
 
Have you checked any of the sensors and biss screw on your throttle body to see if they were within spec and not dead or misaligned?

yes everything with throttle body seems to be good. and i checked to make sure that all my sensors were plugged in and snug. i would also think that if it was a sensor that it would throw a code and my check engine light would come on and it does not. but i could be wrong....
 
Do a fuel pressure test.see if it stalls when its cold.if it doesn't replace your front o2 sensor.the worst is compression test.let us know.
 
if your plugs and wires are good and your new injector seals are seated and not leaking, then id do a compression test. No point trying to chase an issue if your not sure if it has good compression
 
Thanks for all the help. I am slowly working on the car and I will update soon to let you know if any of your suggestions work.

I assume you mean release the clutch pedal (engage the clutch to take off). Check to make sure all the air hose clamps are tight (from air filter to turbo to IC to BOV to TB). It's a simple check and will cause those symptoms. Can then also check for more air leaks by spraying sudsy water around air hoses/joints and intake mani looking for bubbles. If after trying others suggestions, do a boost leak test next.
