Ok so im driving over a speed bump clutch in car stalls out or im slowing down clutch in at a stop light the CEL comes on and the idle is screwy.... Im turning into timmies drivethrough push the clutch in car dies kinda I hit the gas and it jumps back to life... power is down and I pulled a Code 16 off the ECU (1 long flash 6 short flashes) thats the EGR code i Believe. now things I know that are screwy my TPS has never been properly adjusted (however never a problem b4) and my cranksensor (down by the pulleys) maybe a little damaged. and there is almost a grinding - more like a rattling sound in any gear when the engine is at exactly 2500 rpms it sounds worse on a decelleration then accel. and it almost looks like my crank pulley has too much play (but i cant really tell by looking down the side (vary narrow space) I want some suggestions as to how to proceed. Im running what I believe is a KLDE with a kl-02 MAF/VAF and a KL01 ECU (might have that backwards forgive me)

The same thing happened to me two months ago...I was driving, turned a corner in which I depressed the clutch and then engaged....it struggled and then powered back to normal...the next corning it decided cut off...I tried everything, from checking intake, vaccum hoses...etc...and found out it was a bad coil in the disty. Check you disty...it may be the colprit.

Well first I would fix that vac issue and also set the tps....here

Then I would report back since you would have narrowed the problem down a bit. Also check your intake system for cracks or leaks. This is very common and would cause the stall like symtoms
