this happened to me about 3-4 times while i was on my way to class this morning. i was cruising in 5th gear at about 2500 rpm, when all of a sudden my rpm drops to idle. i let off the gas and stepped on it again and it went back up. also of a stop in first gear, the rpm suddenly dropped from 3k to idle. it did this a couple of times while i was on my way to class. on my way home, it didnt do it. any thoughts on what it may be? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
oh yea i forgot to add, my car is stock.

when it drops into idle i keep my foot on the gas and even floor it, the boost goes up to about 3-4psi, but the rpm stays at idle, when i let go, the rpm jumps back up to where its supposed to be...
