Default 240 Prob (might be serious)

I was coming in my neighborhood to park today and i usually put the car in neutral and let it roll to the parking spot but today i put it in neutral and as i started to roll the engine died on me. So i turned it back on and drove around a bit and it happend one more time but this is the first time something like this has happend. i really don't know what the problem might be so i need some help, fast.

yea i wanna assume it has sumthin to do with teh vacuum lines but idk. and yea they were sorta back to back, about 5minutes within each other, adn yea in neutral. no exactly after i released the gas pedal, it was a few seconds after i put it in neutral ( i was already off teh gas)

I had a problem with mine doing that when i first got it...Every time i came to a stop light or stop sign, the rpm would go all the way down to 200 or so, and 75% of the time it died out. I just gave it a good tune up and i have never had that problem since. I went to Accel Wires and NGK Iridium Plugs...Get new cap and rotor too.

I agree, my 240 did the same but the rpms would very go from like 700 down to 200 then up to 1000 then back down again, took it to my dad and he just replaced all my wires, plugs and such, prob solved
