Default car stalling out while moving

starting to have a problem with my 02 gt. if i get on the car and build up speed then toss it in neutral and coast the car idles for a second then stalls out, but wont stall out when in neutral and sitting still. its a 5spd if that makes a difference, any advice you have would be appreciated.

thanks

I've noticed the same thing happening to my car. It's an 02 GT w/ 5spd. It usually does it after I've been out on the interstate like today, I drove back to Concord from Salisbury which is about 20 minutes @ 70mph. Then while cruising through Concord, I'm coasting down a hill, clutch pushed in and car still in 4th, and the car cuts off. Really sucks when you are trying to steer or stop without power.

No, but the guy that had this car before I did had some lame a$$ throttle body spacer installed. I will be taking that off tomorrow, that might help a lot.

Funny, my 02 also does the same. Usally happens after i hit the off ramp after crusing on the highway at 65-70 for 10 minutes, clutch in, hit nuetral, drops rpms and dies.

Well, I don't feel so bad now. I thought I was the only one.

Do you have a CAI? Mine does the same but only after I installed the K&N FIPK.
