car almost dies at idle!

Well for about the past week and a half i get go to start my car in the morning. I pust the clutch in and put it in first. I let go of the clutch and the idle goes from about 1000 rpms to 500 to about 100 rpms were the car is shaking and the idot lights come on...so then i let it go back up and idle fine. The other day it felt like it was going to die so i gave it some gas and it was fine.

About 3-4 days ago when it felt like it was going to die i let it do its thing and the car died out! This is the first time it has done this EVER. Im really concerned because my engine has not given me any problems ever. Its the second engine in my car and has about 85-90k on it.

Any ideas?

sounds like the BAC valve. they do go bad sometimes. Do a search on cleaning it and it might help you out. Mine did they same thing until i pulled it and cleaned it.

That happens to me, but only when I have the a/c on and I'm sitting in neutral.
