I have replaced the fuel pump and a fuel sensor. The engine will idle but i have to feather the gas (rpm's) to 3000 or above to keep the engine from stalling when the clutch is released. When the problem began it only happened after the engine had warmed up now it happens all the time. help

Has the check engine light ever come on? Also, after replacing the fuel pump, have you checked to make sure the fuel pressure is withing specifications? Have you checked for vacuum leaks or a plugged catylatic converter?

Sorry about all the questions, but I need to start somewhere.
