well car starts up fine, no problem with idle, no big signs of problems just ever now and then when i pop the clutch slowing down it just up and shuts off and then i can just start it right back up no problem there either.
now i was thinking tps or cps....now ive never changed the cps but i have changed the tps maybe a couple years ago so i dont know how often they seem to have to be changed but is it really that often? i dont know though let me know what you all think and what else it could be
thanks

Usually problems like that originate from the Idle Air Bypass Valve or the tubing to and from it.
a quick fix until you can find the true source of the problem would be to turn the idle screw on the throttle body a few turns clockwise. it'll raise idle and may be annoying but probably won't die when coming down off rpms..
