[s-cars] RE: Stalling

[Theodore Chen]

a mityvac will tell you if it's leaking.

by the way, my car also used to stall occasionally as i came up to traffic
lights and pushed in the clutch.  i replaced the bypass valve with
a forge unit, due to other symptoms, and the car hasn't stalled since then.
