on the way to school this morning i couldnt stop the audi from stalling, 96 2.8 v6 stick,it would stall when comming to a stop or just pushing the clutch in to let the rpms drop. Ive heard to clean the ICVor somthing but i just cleaned it a couple hundred miles ago to make sure i wouldnt have this problem, Ive also heard about the throttle body tends to get gummed up… Im going to try that next but does anyone have any suggestions on anything else. ---

My Vr6 passat used to do this, thats how I got it for cheap. I bought Valvoline injection cleaning system, never did it again. ---

FYI 9 times out of ten EGR is clogged, and stuck open or Idle air controller is clogged/nasty seafoam helps either, egr you can hit with a hammer usually, idle air I take the throttle boddy off and soak it in simple green ---
