"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)."

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.
