    it might be the idle air control valve or possibly the timing belt.

    It was driving fine 2days ago then wen I was coming home from work I would stop at a light. And put it in neutral and let the clutch go and it would idle funny my idle would jump then yesterday it would stall at every light unless I kept my foot on the gas

    i hope its not that clutch again.

    try adjusting the rpms with the biss screw.
    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.

    I just replaced the clutch pressure plate and throwout bearing so I kno its not that I also replaced the timing bel,t tensioners spark plugs, wires dizzy cap rotor valve cover gasket oil pan gasket oil and oil filter...I'm thinking its my maf sensor or my idle control valve

    yeah it probably is the idle air control valve since you replaced the clutch pressure plate and timing belt and did a tune up.i think there is a spray cleaner for the mass air flow sensor so maybe you can try and clean it see if that helps.

    if it is not my alternator then i also did what mko said but still my car still stalls so if it is the mass air flow sensor what kind of spray cleaner do you use? i have a WD-40 in here will it work? sorry for digging this up. sorry i have the same case so i decided not to create a new thread.

    autozone or advance auto have a special spray made for cleaning the mass air flow sensor,i wouldnt use anything else on it because it could ruin it.
