I took it out and was re-learning how to drive a standard (I know it was more painful to be there then to read about it)...I stalled a lot coming out of a dead stop, revved too high before shifting, and all the other rookie mistakes while getting familiar with the concept again...

Anyway...The car was a good sport...She handled it well and was VERY forgiving...Until the last traffic light (the one outside my condo)...She stalled going into first and hasn't started since...She turns over, but dies the second I give her gas...Sometimes she idles roughly for a few seconds and then dies when I give her gas...I don't know what happened...She was running fine...She needs a tune-up as she has been sitting for quite awhile...but she was doing great...I hope I didn't kill her...
