O.K. I need some help here guys. My car keeps surging and wanting to stall out when I stop or push the clutch in. I just replaced the TPS in it and that did nothing. I pulled my IAC off and low and behold its clean as a whistle. I hosed down my motor and vacum lines with Throttle body cleaner and it appears that I have no vacum leaks. I have clocked my Mass air meter and that either makes it worse or it stays the same. I am clueless here and tired of parts chasing and wasting money.
