I just bought my car a week or so ago...and I test drove it and it worked fine..but a copule days ago it started to die when I would brake with the clutch in. It will start back up just fine, no power loss or slippage just really erattic idle..(200-1500rpm and idle) The car has new plugs, cap and and wires...is there anything that could be causing this? Also under acceleration the idle is fine no problem. I think possibly clogged injectors or fuel filter...again the erattic rpms only happen when it warms up a bit and under braking conditions..any help?
