Default car idles real low and wants to stall when i push in clutch?

read my signature for setup. after the car warms up for awhile.... it idles perfect.. like 950 rpm or so... but sometimes when i push the clutch in it idles down and get so low that the car will shake or just flat stall out.

i am stumped, no idea what it could be? no check engine lights or anything. no real set pattern. help me out.... i have even tried turning the idle up some, and it gets too touchy where it idles high, but doesnt stall when clutch is in. thanks.. .sorry its so long

mine was doing that becuase my fuel filter was getting dirty. when you get on it the fuel is flowing through really hard then it goes to very light and the dirt gathers and then you get the drop in idle new fuel filter 22 dollars

vacum leak or ignition or possibly the wrong fuel filter or injectors

If it idles down when you push in the clutch you have a vacum problem somewhere. Possibly the cluth slave or master cylinder. Your hydrulic clutch works off of vacum.

where does the clutch vacuum hook up at? the only vacuum issue i have, is a few things tapped in all at the FPR vacuum for all my turbo stuff. you think somehow that is causing a strain on it?

and it is the correct fuel filter, the only one that has these funky connectors on the IN fitting. and i have dsm 450's wired with a resistor box, but the hondata is setup and tuned for all of that. so i know it isnt any of that stuff. ill try to look around for some of that vacuum stuff if it ever stops raining here. thanks guys
