Default Car died.

Hey guys, Question. I sprayed the car last night and went through first and second. well after i let out of course the clutch was acting up but it got working again pretty quick. however, when i came to a stop The car just dropped RPMs and died. After i started it up again it was fine. this was on a 75 shot on TR6 plugs, in a head and cam motor. Any ideas Gents??

Did it throw a service engine light? Is the car running rich?
