Smile '04 Mustang GT stalls while coasting in neutral?????

So I recently bought a used 2004 mustang gt that has a manual transmission. It has about 180k miles. I am new at driving a manual transmission but i know that the car should not be stalling while i'm just coasting while the car is either in neutral or when i have the clutch completely in. It has stalled while i'm coasting at about 45 mph while in neutral and it has stalled while i was going only 30 mph with the clutch in, so it doesn't really matter what speed i'm going. If you have ever had this problem please let me know what you did to fix it. Thank you in advance.

May want to check out the New Edge section, which I'm sure it will be moved....

Welcome to the board!

Does your car have an aftermarket tune? If yes, the tuner probably set the engine idle speed at too low of an RPM. Try to purchase a tune that brings your idle up to maybe 700 RPM?

There could be many other reasons why you are stalling. This one is only my guess.
