    ok...

    Sometimes as i slow down approaching the lights (often after giving it some), the cars revs drop a few hundred rpm too low and the car stalls (with the clutch pushed in), its like the revs just keep dropping below where the engine can keep turning...

    Doesn't always happen and seems to happen more if i've just pushed it...

    Any ideas?

    Use datascan to check base idle, clean CAS connector

    Do you have Blow off valves that vent to atmosphere? My car would stall out if I came to a stop like you described until I changed to Recirc BOV's

    Sounds like the TPS.....

    if you leave it till the last minute to push your clutch in (when you are nearly stopped), that should stop it stalling. Then I would have your TPS checked, it only takes 5 minutes to have it adjusted properly.
