"bouncing" idle problem

yamzz · 05-03-2009, 11:42 PM

So I have an 87 N/A FC. Two days ago i finished installing a new clutch. and of course in the excitement, i decided to take it out to get gas and some much needed air for the tires.
a little over 15 minutes of driving the engine had warmed up, and started acting up. The first sign of trouble hit when i came to a stop sign. the car started dropping below regular idle, then would recover by over shooting regular idle.
by the time i left the gas station it got worse. as i would come brake for the light and put it into neutral, the car's idle would drop, bounce back up, drop then die.
the idle problem has happened before i swapped clutches, but it's never died.
can someone help me out here?
