I just bought my car a week or so ago. And I test drove it and it worked fine. But a copule days ago it started to die when I would brake with the clutch in. It will start back up just fine, no power loss or slippage just really erattic idle.(200-1500rpm and idle) The car has new plugs, cap and and wires. Is there anything that could be causing this? Also under acceleration the idle is fine no problem. I think possibly clogged injectors or fuel filter. Again the erattic rpms only happen when it warms up a bit and under braking conditions. Any help?

Try replacing fuel filter and adding a fuel injector cleaner first. See if the helps. If not repost for further help?
