It starts and idles fine but when you're driving and you need to slow down or come to a stop, it dies when you have the clutch pushed in and the rpms drop. The first time it happened I didn't even know it had died because it died just as soon as the engine rpms slowed down, then I realized all my dash lights were on just as if I had the key turned to the on position right before starting it. As I am trying to diagnose the problem I have been trying to replicate it and it seems that if I feather the gas when I'm coming to a stop with the clutch pushed in I can keep it from dying. This is hard to do as I have the clutch pushed in with one foot and the other on the brake to slow down. The following are things I have recently done to the car as a tune up... it had been sitting for awhile so I drained old oil, drained old fuel, drained old antifreeze, replaced all these fluids, got a new battery, new plugs (couldn't get new wires without ordering), new cap and rotor, and recently installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge.
As I have been reading on other threads, I am feeling like I should look at the fuel filter, fuel pump, maybe get some good fuel injector cleaner, O2 sensor? I really don't know much else I could look at other than these things. My dad is questioning the fuel pressure regulator but he hasn't had a chance to look at the car, only listen to me tell him what its doing. I'm hoping someone on here has resolved a similar issue with one of the remedies above or can give me other advice on what to try.
