MAP Whack...clean the IAC valve...spark plugs.

The fuel filter in the s2k is more of a sock in the fuel tank.

Mine was doing this often and I read a post in the archives about changing shifting habits.

It was recommended to leave it in gear as you come down to a stop until it's at idle RPM, then disengage the clutch. I'm not exactly sure what it does, but it hasn't tried to die in the past week. I won't declare that it's fixed yet, but it definitely seemed to help.
