Clutch switch and stalls?
I've red multiple threads where the clutch switch is discussed as a cause for stalls.
What is it about the switch that would cause stalls?
If the stalls happen in neutral, with clutch out does that rule the switch out as a cause?
Stalling at red lights or after just sitting and idling in the garage for a few minutes.
thanks for any insight

The stock ECU will do some weird stuff if the clutch switch is bad. It alters the idle speed slightly for the load on the transmission.
It's REAL easy to see if it's good or not. If it's bad, you can repair it with the spring out of a clicky ball point pen, no kidding. Search on that. I've done it myself, it's an easy, solid fix.
The other problem is the rubber feet the clutch switch touch can deteriorate, leaving a hole that the "peg" on the switch goes through, not tripping it. You can get stick-on rubber chair feet at the hardware store to fix that problem, done that many times myself and works perfectly.
Go ahead and check them out, if that's not it, move on in troubleshooting.
