Engine will die when the clutch pedal is pressed

Right now my car is in the shop its been there for a little bit right now there trying to figure out why the car dies when the clutch pressed.*

The car will only stay On and running when it has been *push started. *Then it will shut right off after the gas has been pressed on does the car does not rev any insight

It idles around 2000rpm there is no fluctuation at all in the idle but as soon as a little gas is applied or the clutch pedal is pressed in to change gears the motor will die out. The motors sounds good exhaust sounds good at idle. No backfire or anything like that what so ever all the connections have been checked even the injectors or were they are need to be. Just stumped don't know what to do.

Ok in trying to pin point this Dam problem today it idles at 3000 rpm but when the gas predal there is no response the computer reads that the pedal is in working order

The computer also reads that the throttle body is open at 16% on start up. I thinking it must be a throttle body issue I don't know or a disruptive flow in the current

User's last activity was 11/2014. I doubt you'll get an answer.

Though, if the car idled at 2000 rpm, it had issues.
