what would cause a car to die after you get on it and let out of it? the idle drops to like 200 and dies sometimes. For exaple this morning i was out playing in the rain and i would slide but when i pushed in my clutch it died every time.i raised my idle to 1000 it is not starving for fuel please let me know one of my other mustangs did this for a while but i forgot what i did to fix it

I'd suspect the idle air controller. When you push the clutch in, rev it and it dies, how fast do the rpm's drop? If they drop faster than normal then I'd defitely suspect that. Sometimes they get gummed up with carbon deposits and you can just take it off and clean it out with some carb cleaner.
