I found that my motor has done this twice also. Both times, I was in heavy
L.A. traffic, and it was a hot L.A. day ;-) When can I move? Any way, I
was completely stopped, clutch completely depressed, and engine rpm slowed,
shook, and died. Immediately started back up. The last time it happened
was October 98, and it happened again just last week. Between the two
stalls, I port and polished my Throttle body, thus removing all traces of
carbon build up, replaced my plugs, thus all plugs are good. I don't know
what caused it, but wonder if this is a coincidence. When it happened to
you, was it hot outside and you were fighting traffic? Later,

Subject: DML: Squeaky clutch and dying motor
I have noticed a squeak in my clutch. This only happens when I depress the
clutch and let it up. It happens whether the motor is on or off. It doesn't
squeak when shifting gears, only when I am coming to a stop or still. Are
there any bushings that can be greased on the clutch pedal? Any other ideas?
Also, my motor has died twice in the past weeks. I have noticed while at
idle, it will drop RPM's to about 300 or 400 and the motor shakes, then
dies. Sometimes it will catch it self and jump RPMs up to around 1000 then
go back to idle around 600. Could this be a fried spark plug wire or spark
plug itself?
