stalling out in 3rd and in 4th with clutch in ....
 
Well this sounds weird. ... my car idles fine and drives fine and everything, but when I go on the highway or drive normal and take a turn and go from 4th down to 3rd and hold my clutch in , my revs bounce ...... weird. Usually it stalls too so I have to start it up once again. weird .... anyone know whats the problem ? It only seems to happen in 3rd and 4th with clutch all the way in. If the revs drop under 1000 rpm it just bounces and bounces and then stalls out. I'm very frustrated, X28 told me it mite be the battery loose , already tightened it and still no luck. Anyone know ?

Do you still have those problems after yanking the intake and CZ?

You flooded it right? Did they clean and/or or replace the plugs?

Hmmz , weird tested it again today. .. only does it in 3rd and 4th gear , doesn't do it in 1st or second .... guessing something is wrong with the syncros ? cause i think its trying to rev match or what ever its called ... then it stalls ...

Nvm .. I think I found the problem. ... the amp has a offset light on .. maybe it's draining the power .... disconnecting it and will test my theory tomorrow .. sleep for now ..

errr... crap , I think I found the problem , it's the negative side , it's loose , anyways, what tool do you guys use to tighten it ? I tried pliers but it didn't really get it tight without stripping some metal. and a socket wrench won't fit 8/

on the battery? 10mm socket or box wrench.
