so it doesnt jerk at all, it just dies?

 

Sounds like a loose wire or somethin' to me. Camshaft or crankshaft position sensor maybe? Either of those would make the engine cut.

 

You have MAF based Tib. Maybe your BOV is venting registered air to the atmosphere and you run extra rich and that's why engine stalls?

 

as far as I know the proper way of bleeding a clutch is just like brakes.

pump it up, hold it down and someone else lets the bleeder out. repeat a few times. thats at least how i did it. oh and don't forget to have clutch fluid on hand.
