Clutch problem

Ok guys here is the situation.

First of all i know about the clutch switch problem but it does not seem the same although it could be.

When i started the car when was cold it used to go 1700rpm, a few seconds later drop to 1200-1000 then i start driving slowly to warm it up. Now the problem is that i start the engine and it goes to 1700rpm as it should but now it drops to 0 and the engine stops. I restart the engine and it idles at 1300-1000 rpm because it's cold. And the other situation is especially when it's cold and i drive slowly i press the clutch and the rpm drop to 200-300 and it turns off and i have to switch on again. This happened 5-6 continuous times.

What could be? Is it the clutch switch or could be something else?

how about you let the car warm up first then start driving slowly until normal operational temps. Put it to 3rd gear then fire her up, ur RPM even if its cold won't exceed 1,500 for 2 seconds then drop to 1,100. Let it sit for 5 mins then drive slowly.

3rd or any gear doesn't seem to matter, as long as the AWS is not activated with the car in neutral. Anyone else get the idle surge up and down 4-5 times as the AWS starts to go off-line and temps increase to operating zone?

OK guys the problem is solved and you know what was it? Poor fuel. It was the first time i put premium unleaded from that gas station and all these problems occured. Now i put EKO 98octane as i used and no problem at all.
