if i press down and hold the clutch a little longer when im driving, the rpm drops all the way to zero and stalls. if i press the clutch down at a slower pace, it would almost stall but hangs on. could it be the vacuum, this happened after i installed my boost gauge. please post your advices/experiences ,thanks.
 
If it happened after your boost gauge install then I would guess you messed something up. Where did you tap your gauge at? What does the gauge read while idleing, while mashed full gas?
 
i "T"ed it on the fuel solenoid, car idles fine at 7-800rpm and 14-15 vacuum; when decelerating boost gauge vacuum shows 20,WOT boost was about 12-14 psi. i also installed the bov not long before the gauge. i do vent to atmosphere. i just drove the car today and it was fine( well the rpm did drop a lil lower than normal to about 4-600 rpm) . the only difference today was that the weather was a lil warmer than yesterday(40F vs 50F). i dont wanna stall on the highway again, that was not a good feeling. please help...
