OK, two days ago I finally got my new BBK headers installed to fix a serious exhaust leak that I was having with the hookers that came on the car as well as my BBK u/d pullies. Now today I had to bring my uncle to the hospital to get his Fed up sholder examinded (river accident), and on the way home, about three miles from my house, I forgot I had the car in first and let off the clutch and the car died. After that the car didn't start, I had to give it gas and then it went, about 1/2 a mile down the road and idiot had to come to a complete stop to make a turn, booom it stalled, then I gave it gas while turning the key and it started up, when I got in my driveway it strained to keep its rpms above 200 or so while ideling, I'm brining the car back to the shop that has done all the work to it so far, but was wondering if you guys had any ideas as to what the cause may be, or if it's something quick and simple that I could check or fix, or offer me ideas to give to the shop to check.

 

Bump.

 

Anybody? Oh, I checked all of the lines and no air or fuel leaks.

 

so you had your car in 1st gear for 3 miles, let off of the clutch, and it died??

your story there REALLY didn't explain much of your problem. try again?

 

No, normal driving, but when I put on the break to stop and had to throw out the clutch so the engine wouldn't kill itself, it just died, got on the home stretch and as soon as I let off the gas the rpms droped like a rock.
