Changed the starter on my b18. Now when i drive and switch the gears, just entering another gear, let go of the clutch pedal completely and its in gear then hit the gas and then it feels like as if you just release the clutch when shifting, but its already in gear. This came out kinda confusing. If you dont get what im sayin let me know ill try to elaborate on it a bit more

well driving around a bit more i kinda figured out what exactly is going on. When i slightly press in the gas pedal and keep it at a steady spot at idle it revs up like its supposed to, but then rpms drop like 500rpm and shoot back up and down...etc. All with the pedal at that same spot. Not sure what that can be. I know i need a new throttle body to begin with because it sticks closed, that can cause that but not sure if any sensors can be doing it either?! and ideas?

You should be able to clear up a sticking throttle by cleaning up the throttle body. Use some carburetor cleaner and get that TB to stop hanging up.
Then trouble shoot your car again. Can't properly trouble shoot as it is.
