I have this problem that's only been happening maybe since last fall; I don't really remember it happening last summer at all. If I'm going along and come up to a stoplight (happens most of the time coming off the highway, but will happen between stoplights in town too) and push in the clutch, the engine will idle down all the way until it dies. This will also happen if I'm going down a long hill and put the tranny in neutral and coast. It does not appear to be dependent on whether I have the brakes engaged or not, though sometimes it seems as if having the brakes engaged makes it worse. Once the engine quits I can tap the gas a couple times and it will start right back up and idle fine. Except once the other day when it quit again while I was sitting at the stoplight. That time it was sputtering and would not idle at all, I had to keep it revved up to keep the engine running.
I can't think of anything that I changed before I started noticing this, but any suggestions at this point would be welcome. I tried 87 octane instead of 85 just for grins and that didn't change anything.
