So it dies a when you push the clutch in to coast? Rpm's drop and just dies instead of mellowing out for idle?

Check and make sure your idle screw isn't turned all the way in.
 
It mostly stock just oem replacements on most things it has a short shift and its lowerd thats about it did a boost leak at the shop and came back fine idling it sits around 800 to 1100 but its normally steady unless cold and it does have a recurculatory bov

I will check the screw when the suns up in a hour or so
 
No idea then i was thinking was cylinder head

Your egr valve is on the side of your intake manifold underneath the throttle body. If have a vacuum tester you put it on it and if its working it will make your car run bad while idling when you open it. If you don't have one get a vacuum line and put it on the egr port and while idling attach it a vacuum port on the IM. If its working it will make it run bad when you give it vacuum(opening the valve) and go back to normal when you take vacuum away(closing the valve). Have you checked the idle screw?

It actually ended up neing a injector leaking thanks to a split o ring and just spraying every where

Ahh yes that would do it for sure. Glad you got it fixed. :thumb:
 
i don't think it has anything to do with the clutch . you are taking your foot off the gas and going to the clutch now the engine doesn't maintain an idle so it dies. i would try fixing the check engine light first its on for a reason .
