so restate your problem please, you turn on the car, put it into first, and then it dies without anything happening?

You're not letting the car try and warm up so it bogs and dies. When you let it run for a minute and let it build some heat, it is fine. You obviously answered you're own problem

Could be lots of things. Does it just bog when you give it gas? Or is it dying when you push in the clutch? More details please

wen i push the clutch and only wen i shift down.....my idle is always low.

Could be a clutch switch if the FC has one, if it was an FD I would almost bank on that being the problem.

Otherwise, can you bump up your idle with the set screw? Could be the BAC valve isnt properly functioning to maintain a higher idle speed especially when cold.

Check out the mechanical operation of the clutch switch, if you can push it in and out then its probably fine
