I've just rebuilt my 6 bolt and im having a problem with the car idling after load. What I mean by that is when i move the car and then disengage for a stop sign or something of that sort. The rpms bounce slightly and then die. Car idles fine when sitting at 750, this only happens after load. Anyone have an idea? Compression was even 155 psi and it doesn't seem to have any vaccuum leaks.
 
Have you checked to see if your clutch is fully disengaged with the pedal to the floor? Might be the clutch is still dragging, and when you stop and hit the brakes, the drag from a partially-engaged clutch stalls the motor. Just an idea.
 
mine does it too what i heard is it's because my BOV is'nt recirculated and you basically just have to deal with it unless you want the stock BOV. but not sure. so i down shift and hit the clutch at around 1500 rpms and its fine. just an idea.
 
Seems my master cylinder is leaking a bit, will have a new one tmr and will update if it fixed the problem. And my BOV is recirculated.
