if its "hopping" or "jumping like some is pressing the break..that means you are letting go of the clutch to fast...and if it stall out, that mean you need to give it more gas and bring the RPM's up a but...if they are to low..car will stall out on ya.

Check for vacuum leaks and/or loose connections between the VAF and the throttle body - same thing was happening with our GS after we got it back from having the clutch replaced. Both my wife and I are very experienced manual transmission drivers, so we were quite irritated when it was IMPOSSIBLE to take off smoothly.

It turned out that the shop didn't tighten up the clamp around the connection at the throttle body. A few turns of a screwdriver, and the problem was solved...

Vacuum leak. Mine's doing the same thing and I'm 100% sure it's a vacuum leak, just too busy to fix right now.
