low idle when clutch engaged

Hello all,
I have a question or actually wondering if anyone knows about a problem i have been having with my FD. When I am driving either on the street or the freeway i get a very low drop in RPM all the way down to about 500 when i engaged the clutch to brake. Sometimes it idles slowy down to 900 where it normall idles at but then sometimes it will drop kind of faster than normal down to about 500 and then slowy climb back up to 900. Anyone have an idea? Do i have bad electical or is it something with my motor? Any suggestions or related ideas would be helpful,
Thanks.

Do you have a Power FC by chance? I am going with Bad_Karma7 here. I think it is the clutch switch.

I have haltech, if that makes a difference. But I mean i dont know what else it could be. maybe a bad battery? When the idle drops low when i engage clutch the dashboard lights will dim a little bit. Hmmm.
