Stalling Issues when Deccelerating

Recently my FD w/ Microtech LT8, has been having issues stalling...as in when i let off the gas the tachometer takes a nose dive. It typically catched itself at the last moment and does not completely stall, but now 3 out 4 times it completely dies. I am a complete newbie as far as tuning goes and dont know whether it could be a power problem (battery/alternator). I plan to get the power checked out tomorrow. Anyone else have similuar issues ever?

If your dashpot is worn out, or adjusted improperly, that could lead to rapid rpm drop.

Clutch switch, as lame as it sounds its amazing the stalling problems that switch will cause if the spring inside is broken. I struggled with a stalling issue for a couple years before I figured that one out.

^This and adjusting all the throttle body mechanical [idle] settings is what fixed this same problem on my car.
