Alright, I never had this problem before. My car is a 92 GT with a 306, Edlebrock aluminum heads, Camzilla cam and everything that goes with it. Recently after warming up and driving for a few miles when I go to downshift coming to a stop ( vaccum sucks from big cam affecting power brakes) it will cut out. The car will start back up by the key or popping the clutch but somthing is wrong. It starts fine all the time I just don't know where to look. It seems like when the clutch goes in coming from 3rd to second is when I notice it. Any ideas or direction I should be heading? Thanks.

Sounds like a possible IAC problem. Try taking it off and cleaning it.

See "Help me create the Surging Idle Checklist" at http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=698148
for help with your idle/stall problems. The first two posts contain all the updates to the fixes. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.

Mine seems to lose vacuum everytime I come to a stop and the car just dies unless I give it gas to keep it going. I've chalked it up to my car needing to be "dyno-tuned" in order to properly map the A/F ratios.
