Def. has nothing to do with the clutch. I've had that exact problem many times when my car is low on gas. When I would come to a stop, the car's idle would drop very low, sometimes even die. I was also having a similar problem when the ignitor in the distributer was failing. Sounds like SHE fixed the problem though. Stick with premium.

Werd. It was probably carbon build up. Try and get some Seafoam and go that route. Seafoam, when properly used, removes carbon deposits. It will probably smooth out your idle and your engine may preform a bit better.
