Ok...So i just finished installing my flywheel and took the car out for a ride today. Everytime I come to a stop quickly, the engine stalls. What is going on?? I drove the thing around the block and had to restart 4 times. It seems that the idle isn't picking up the fact that the flywheel is lighter and needs to adjust itself to the new weight. The engine is completely stock with the exception of a PI (plastic) intake but I do have 3.73 in the rear. Any help would be apprecieated.
 
It only takes 15 minutes for it to lose its mind... I guess it must be something else.

Maybe it is unrelated to the flywheel. Maybe it is the common IAC problem. You could try cleaning/replacing the IAC. And it probably would not hurt to clean the MAF. How many miles are on it? Do you use a K&N style filter?

96000 and no K/N filter...completely stock right down to the paper filter. I will take a look at the IAC and the MAF and see if they need a cleaning.
