Default car stalling in neutral???????

just had one of my flex connectors on my exhaust pipe replaced yesterday, now when i slow down or shift in neutral either:

1. the rpm's go all the way down, then back up to 500

2. the car will just stall out.

is it something with my vaccume lines, i doubt if its the fuel pump....

the car also feels more sluggish, like i'm driving with the e-brake on!

thanks in advance, any input will be helpful!

I was kidding, i have no idea what the problem could be.. but if it didnt do that before you had them work on it, id take it back and have them check it out at no cost to you. Do you have a boost gauge? Could be a crazy coincidence though.. get your ecu scanned for fault codes at autozone or whoever will do that for free in your area. Im sure there is a code stored in it relating to your problem. It could be a # of things including:
engine coolant temp. sensor
MAF
fuel filter/pump
ICU
Vaccuum leak
injectors

O i just saw you are 2.8.. so forget the boost gauge.. get your **** scanned.. the place who worked on it should do it for you for free since it was ok before you took it to them.
