I have a problem with my 2g idling. The car will start up right away and idle fine no matter if the engine is cold or warm. The problem I'm having is when driving, not matter what RMP I'm in. When I let off the gas and press the clutch to slow down the idle drop very low and the car shut off. This happen very time, I have to apply a little gas to keep the RMP up and the car running everything time I press the clutch to slow down. I don't know what's going on. If anyone could help that would be great.
 
How do you go about doing that?
My car's timing was off by 40 degrees, idle was horrible but the car was very very quick.
Now its a little slower but idles perfect.

Id like to advance the timing anywhere from 10-18 degrees.
Any help?
