Okay well i have my car at this shitty excuse for a shop, I drove all the way up there to pick up my car. I took it for a test drive. It idles horribly and stalls when a little warmer( I assume a vacuum problem). When i let the clutch out quickly theres a clunk coming from drivers front( I believe to be motor mounts). And my speedometer doesn't work. Needless to say i left it there for them to fix. If I go back up there when they say it's ready I'm test driving it. If it's not right im taking it to the dealer and the shop can foot the bill. Anyone know what my problems could be?

Sounds like the problems are, "It idles like shit, and the speedo doesn't work."
No, seriously, they probably left the speed sensor unplugged, and the timing is off.

Originally posted by ThePerfectShift but why would it stall if the timing was off? he said it ran fine in the donor car. and what about the clunking what would cause that?
because hacing the timing off will make the car stall. Your guess was right on the clunk - probably a motormount.
