Starts right back up, but now gauge reads over 1/4 tank. Make it to work.

I drove to the store on lunch, no problems. On my way home from work the car stalled or wanted to stall every time i came to a stop. Like the second i lift my foot off of the gas and push the clutch in the RPM's drop to zero.

I have an appointment at the shop on Friday. I was just trying to find out if anyone has any ideas. I hooked an ODBII scanner to the car and didn't get any codes.

Sounds like it could be a vacuum leak that's causing it to stall. I would begin with the basics- vacuum leaks, loose connector wires, MAF dirty or going bad? No check engine codes come up -surprised? You should crack open the engine compartment and have a look making sure hoses and things are tight on. Another possibility is a faulty fuel pressure regulator. Why? The fuel pressure regulator maintains proper fuel pressure to the fuel injectors. Problems with this device will likely result in a fuel starved engine thus it will stall. If all of your problems only occurred after that 3-4 gallon fill-up, maybe water in the gas ?
