Help!!! Car keeps dying

NMR-2vGT · June 16th, 2007, 02:59 PM

Ok, i had a new clutch put in last night, it was finished this morning. It was adjusted and everything. But when i slow down and push in the clutch to stop the RPM doesnt stop at the idle, it just keeps dropping and dies. I have to restart it but it starts right back up. The clutch feels fine. Also my radio turns on and off. Is there a short somewhere or what could the problem be?

Did you get your car fixed?

I take it you disconnected the battery when you removed your starter. I would start there. Check the battery connections and the connection to your engine bay fuse box.
When your car stalls does the whole car die? If so, check the ground to the engine block behind the oil filter as well.

The only ground that would have been affected is the battery ground itself.

I do not see anything else obvious looking through the schematics.

Good Luck!
