Stalling issues.. or a leak
hello, Recently I had a clutch and flywheel installed on my car by a shop here in CT
(ecs performance)
and my car started to stall/lose power randomly, but it only does it when i almost come to a dead stop or close to it in 10mph range.
Sometimes it does it 2-3 times withing 10 mins and sometimes it goes for 3-4 days with it running fine. today i went to autozone to buy a few things, and when I started her up, the rpms jumped between 800-1200 and it stalled twice. On the third time it drove somewhat decent.
I also have two CELs that came up p0037 ( the rear o2 sencor) and p0850 (park/neutral switch input circuit)
04 manual with 59k miles on it, i flooded it once since i had it, bought the car with 20k on it and it happened right around 25k. i have no other mods.
I did a lot of research on what the problem could be..
so this is what i have done/ or am currently doing
Cleaned MAF - done
Seafoam- doing it tomorow
cleaned and switched the neutral and reverse switch - done
I am not gonna test it until i do th seafoam tomorow
now here is my worry when i started her up right after doing the above two i had my girlfriend sit in it and give it gas to see if I could hear something abnormal.
I read that you could hear the noise coming from it..
now before i take it for a compression test can anyone tell from this video if this sounds normal.. or am i just paranoid??

and also how long is the warranty if my cat has gone bad?
thanks in advance..

well replacing the neutral switch didnt fix the problem. so i dropped it off last night at mazda.
they just called me and said i got 2 cylinder misfires, i need to replace the coils, plugs+plugs wires and of course rear o2 sensor..
i got quoted at $1130.
does that sound reasonable
edit..
after doing research im really being ripped off.. which i decided i am going to do it myself...
only thing im unsure off is the plug wires... couldnt find any info on how hard is it to change. and where i could get some

Plugs and wires r really easy to change. You will have to take th driver side tire off n order to get th plugs out. Not enough room n the engine bay to reach down. I bought mine from mazdatrix

i just hope doing this will fix all the issues I've been having
