Push the clutch in, start the car and apply more gas this time! :P

But in all seriousness we need more information than that. Was it running wierd before it stalled? Check engine light turn on? Anything happening when you try to restart it? Etc.

my car will do the exact same thing but mine probably stalls out more than yours....any time im below 20 it can stall (unless some two foot driving is involved lol).....the rpm will start being irratic then just dies.....the speedo will work after driving for a little bit..but even then it will sometimes stop, but only if i stop the car....i will be following this one closely....
