Maybe a bad sensor, clogged vacume, or possiblly a bad fuel injector. The parts store has OBD sensors you can rent, it free but you have to make a deposite for the price of the sensor but you get your money back. My car (2000 3.8 manual)had a bad fuel injector and it would die sometimes when thrown into nutral or the RPMs would jump down to 500 and the lights would dim down. Just throwing ideas at you.

well since you check all the wiring.. look at your fuel injectors.. maybe you can clean them first? see if that helps? or just get new fuel injectors.. it wouldnt hurt getting new ones anyways

so you used seafoam? you let some of it get sucked up through your vacumn line and then turn off the car let it set for 15 minutes and then turn it back on?.. it will smoke alot though lol so make sure your well ventaled otherwise your gonna get smoked to death lol. and poor some into your gas tank also.. and you can add it to your oil also... and is your car overheating at all? if it is it can cut off on you when going from drive to nuetral so what you gonna do now?
