Rpm going strait to 0

So I was driving my car and I pressed on the clutch put it on neutral I was coming to a complete stop. When I came to the stop I realized my car stalled. The next complete stop I come to same thing happened. It just keeps stalling. But when I have it parked in the drive way and I turn it on and leave it on neutral and give some gas the Rpm doesn't go to 0. It doesn't stall. It's only when I'm driving

Does it only do this when the engine is warm, but not when it's cold/just started?

It just does it when I'm driving it. I warmed it up before I drive it. Didn't stall when I was warming in it up. I came back home. It stalled when I stopped I turned it right back on it didn't stall

There are a few options :
Vacuum leak in the intake
Poor ignition health (replace ignition coils, spark plugs and wires)
Low compression (needs new engine)

Let's try to eliminate some of these

Do you have access to an obd2 reader? Can you log the STFT and LTFT and rpm at idle?
Have you had a compression test recently?
How old are the ignition parts?

I think it running to rich. Can it be the maf sensor problem. Haven't gotten a compression test and dorm know about the ignition parts just got it 2 months ago. Can it be the clutch as well?

Could be MAF also, easy enough to clean. While you have thr intake apart check if there is oil in the intake and clean it if necessary.

But if it only does that when warm, plus your overheating issues from the other thread, think a compression test is in order.
