Ok so here's the deal. Car was driving fine when I left for Cali for 3 weeks. Its been pretty cold here in Atlanta while I was gone and I had nobody to periodically start the car for me. I came back Monday and tried starting the car and the battery cable was loose so I had to tighten it. Now when I start the car it idles fine at around 700 rpm but when I start driving it and it warms up it starts stalling when I push the clutch in. It doesn't happen everytime but it is becoming more frequent. It also idles a little lower and kinda rough once its heated up. Please help:pray:

Can you provide some basic information about the car? Is it the '90 gsx under your name? Have any mods done to it like a lightend flywheel?

I'd say start with the basics, like vacuum leaks and checking out the idle motor. Also, maybe reset the the idle.. I believe it should be set more around 800rpm.
 
Is your Blow off Valve recirculated or Open to atmosphere?

Also the ECU has to Re-learn the proper idle if the battery was disconnected or extremely low on voltage.

I agree with Talongirl about the Vac/boost leaks too. Do a Boost leak test ASAP.
