Do you have a JWT popcharger, some type of CAI, or stock intake?

ITs nromal...its something that happens to me all the time when im not paying too much attention to my driving. It is caused when you let the revs drop down too low while coming to a stop. You got to keep in mind that the fly wheels on the Z wiegh a ton so it will take some gas to keep it spinning. Just from personal experience though and mastering the clutch feel would be great.

From what other people with a JWT popcharger have told me, in person, if you are driving somewhat fast and then shift into neutral to stop the car, it may stall out. Sounds like you got close to stalling...

Not sure what the cause is, but it could be related to the MAF sensor, maybe you need to clean it with electrical contact cleaner.

I'm almost certain that the JWT is not to blame for stalling. There was a thread on this too..had something to do with...coilpack..or was it starter...idk.. but i know that non-popchargers and stocks stalled too and there was a TSB for this i think or some kind of recall. Its on thsi forum though.
