Ok, so I started off with my JVC head unit losing complete power (unit is bad), while checking my fuses, noticed a few were blown, so I replaced them. After I had removed the radio, I drove my car up the road and when I engaged the clutch...the car idled down IMMEDIATELY to around 500rpm and stuttered between 400rpm & 600rpm (didn't die). I drove it around for few minutes and the problem persisted, but stopped after a while. I drove back and the car sat for maybe 2hrs, went to drive it home and the car did the same thing, only it died this time. It did it three times on the way home, but eventually stops doing it. All this started today after that radio incident happened. I'm guessing it is electrical but I don't even know where to start. I've been reading a lot of forums on this topic, and I keep hearing about crank walk. It's not happening when I turn, no ticking, great oil pressure, and car runs like a scalded dog!!! Any help here would be great!!!
 
But what ground though? I mean, this all started based off of that radio. There is no way the timing of the two events could be that coincidental...I have no clue where to start! I didn't touch anything under the hood, so unless that one ground being unhooked from the radio because it is out could cause that...that is the only one I know that is undone right now!
