Basically, when I'm drivin my car if I get it up to about 3k rpms or more and then push in the clutch start to slow down the rpms will dip very low or car will die if i don't give it a little gas. Anyone know what could be causing this? Also, my idle is a bit low, about 700rpms

My car did that when I got it, cleaned out the ISC and problem solved. The flapper thing looked like it was dipped in tar. I also cleaned out and adjusted my dashpot. Both really easy to do.
