So a few random times now (both warm and cold) when i start my engine it revs to 1500 and then starts to fall back to 900 but it keeps goin and dies.. I dont get it.. Ive also noticed that when applying no gas and kind of gliding in gear, my car stutters, not badly just the tach puts down instead of smoothly and slowly. I Just changed my Intake not to long ago to a CAI and i dont think it would be the throttle body.. can anyone help?

your cai probably fell loose like mine... tighten all the connections

I'm experiencing some stalling too, but in my case its a little different. My rpms drop dramadically when making very sharp turns like turning in a parking space. This is with the clutch disingaged. Basically the tach drops to zero and stall or it will jump back to idle.... wierd isn't it.

your MAF is bad, same thing happen to me. the car would start, then rpm would drop, then it died. put your stock intake back on. Chances are likely the intake came loose, bounced the MAF around, and it broke.
