05 6mt dies
one day last week i was driving at about 80mph on the highway and i was coming up to a sharp turn so i took it out of gear and was about to downshift when i noticed my car had died .. i had to struggle through the turn b/c the steering and everything went out... i thought maybe i wasnt paying attention and somehow stalled out b/c my radio was loud but the same thing has happened to me twice since then ... the car just dies when i take it out of gear... i never heard of this happening to ne body..... does ne one else have this problem or know what it could be

It's your intake. I had the same problem when I first got my Injen intake. If you're going over 60mph, and you take the load off the engine (taking it out of gear or pushing the clutch until the RPM fall down to idle), the car will stall. At least that was the case with mine. I got a heatshield and put it over my filter so direct air wasn't hitting it. My problem is now solved.

Is this problem with the Injen, predominately with the MT? Has anyone experienced it with an AT?
