Default Avenger needs help!

Hey,
I have V6 '98 Avenger, everytime I slow down from about 50 Mph my engine tries to die on me! The other thing is weird cricking noise coming from my transmission everytime I switch gears. Does any one what might be a problem? Any suggestion can be helpful!

Well for the almost stalling... it could be you plugs, plugs wires or even you IAC, and as for your clicking noise... does it do it only when it down shifts? always did it?

Thanks Tech,
I've checked my plugs and wires, its all good. How about fuel filter or maybe my alternator does not have enough juice to keep it running? Clicking noise is always only when I am shifting my gears, or slow down. I will replace my fuel filter and see what happens!

The words "Cheap and Boost" have never gone well together, lol. Unless you can find an owner with an already boosted A/S that is selling just the mods.
