Default it stalls sometimes

i have a 95 gt, with mods. sometimes(not often) i'll be driving and when i put my foot on the clutch or to coast it will stall out, if i rev the engine in time then it won't stall, and not give me any prob. for a while. i see it's bout to stall b/c the tach will drop past 700 rpm(of course), and when it drops, it drops fast( no kind of bouncing effect when at idle on the tach). could it be the comp. an ignition prob., or fuel delivery prob.? the spark plugs are new, the dist. cap and rotor are new. i have a f-303 cam( if that may have something to do with it since it has a rough idle). i keep it maintained with lucas fuel treatment and engine lube to keep the fuel lines clean. hope i gave enough info, thanks for all your replies.

You can just unbolt it, spray it with carb/fuel injector cleaner to clean it and it should be ok.
