Stalls at idle

Hey guys,

I am new to Evos and turboed cars in general so I really appreciate any help I can get. I recently drove my evo to my new home in Mobile AL and had no issues at all but the following few days I have noticed a continuing problem. Every few days my car stalls completely when I am coming to a stop after I go into neutral. Right as I come to a complete stop and have the clutch in the car drops below the normal idle of 1000 rpm's shortly and then goes back up and idles normal but some times it seems like it drops too low and just stalls out. When I restart the car it runs fine but I'm worried this could start happening more and more and cause safety issues if it stalls as I'm making a turn and I lose power steering in the middle of the road.

I just bought my Evo about a month ago and have had it looked over and tuned by the local speed shop back home in Ohio but I am still figuring out the ins and outs of this awesome machine. I ran a search and looked through a bunch of threads that could have possibly answered my question but couldn't find anything. Any help or suggestions on the problem would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks. I'll check that out and see if it goes away. I appreciate the help!

(Not sure on the brands of exhaust manifold or intake. Just got the car. Could post under the hood pics if that would help)

do this man, check all your vacuum lines by your fuel rail and on your intake manifold. if you dont know what that is, search. once uve checked that, check the intake pipe where your air filter connects too make sure nothin looks loose and its all clamped down, if that all checks out start tuggin each part of where your intercooler piping clamps are, see if any are loose those would be the basics to start out with.
