Only happens every once in a blue moon....More often when it isnt at operating temps and relatively cold.

Car will run and drive just the RPM's will usually drop to 200ish when I come to a complete stop with the clutch disengaged.

I have just recently cut out the cats and has been doing this since before then.

Keep in mind this may happen once a day or barely once a week.

It also twice has crapped out and stalled for no reason at all sitting at a stoplight since the H-Pipe work.

I just figured it is the IAC getting ready to take a crap...am I right?

Nope, unless they are those "hidden codes" or whatever.

You need a tune.....some cars are really sensative to mods and the a/f at idle is probably a little off......try adjusting your throttle stop or IAC.........
