Help car quits when clutch gets pushed in
 
I can be driving down the road at any speed or rpm and let off the gas and push the clutch in and the car dies.Rpms justs falls down till the car quits. Have power fc for fuel computer. Is it in the computer settings or tps or what any ideas appreciated.

"It might be your clutch switch, but since you say it dies in neutral, instead of in gear, it may not be. Still worth checking, though. There are two switches on the clutch, it's the upper one. A spring inside the switch is prone to failure.

Do you have a PFC? If so, you can go to the sensor screen and check that each switch is working correctly. If not, crawl under the dash and manually check that switch's plunger travels about an inch (vs. no travel for a bad switch)."

so to check the switch just try to push it in and if it goes in then its good if it doesnt move its bad right...

So would that switch being bad cause the car to die when i let off the gas and push the clutch in with the car in gear

The rods from the clutch swithes (both) should be out at least 1/2 inch when the clutch pedal is NOT depressed. When you push in the clutch pedal, it will push in both rods.
