I've had this happen a few times recently. Say I pull out to turn or pull out a parking space I'll step on the clutch to and it will just stall out. Any ideas? Clutch sensor?

did you get a software change when you did the dinan flywheel? Should raise the idle speed to 800rpm with the lighter flywheel. I would bet that is is if you still have the stock idle speed.

It sounds like the stalling is most prevalent when you turn the wheel at low engine speeds. I'll take a stab in the dark and say to check your power steering pump. If it's faulty it might be pulling excessive power from the engine hence causing the stalling.

Would be interested to hear the outcome. Please keep us posted.

It's not when it sitting still, it's when i get moving.

And the power steering seems to work just fine.
