Need help!!!!!! Asap idk what to do!!!!!!

This is the process of the problem occurring
first i start the car no problem i drive off on first gear
the changed gear to second at 2500 rpm no prob
but when i went to stop at the stop sign i stepped on
the clutch and bam the rpm just droped and didnt come back
up and the car stalled i repeated it in 3rd and 4th same thing
the thing is that if i slow down and wait for 1000 rpm it drops
to about 200 or 100 rpm and goes back up to 500 idle rpm

please help me

Clean the throttle body and IAC Valve. Make sure the IAC valve is actually working.
An idle speed of 500 is to low and actually might point to a defective IACV.

It can be a variety of things, but I would immediately think vacuum leak or more importantly I would focus on the MAF, the connections, check for codes

^^ i second that Mass Air Flow Sensor...check that also make sure your spark plugs are good..it could also be fuel pump or bad fuel..

Check your fuel filter I had the same problem auto tranny tho if I would stop hard or say rev my car up the needle would fall straight to zero no hesitation cleaned the throttle body no go changed the filter and bam it ran so much better

From what you described It makes me think of the time I was installing my cold air intake and left my MAF dangeling on the side then went for a drive. 2500 rpm is like the magic number for a MAF problem. Or if its not that I would check for a vacuum leak.
