i cant keep it running. when i go to start it and let the clutch out dieright away, even if i try to give it gas. then sometimes it will staying running when i let the clutch out but right when i give it gas it dies. i tryed to just let it idel in nutruel but every time i let the clutch out it dies. wtf. iam so pissed. so i got under the dash and pushed in the little white bar behind the clutch a few times go to start it. bingo its fine, well thats what i thought. so i take it around the block and right when i go from 1st to second and push the clutch in it dies. so i get under the dash push the little white button or bar behind the clutch pedel a few times it works longer then it did the first time and drove it all over town for about 15 min with out a problem. so i go inside my house take a shower come back out same old problem what could this be. i dont fell like playing with the pin behind the clutch pedel every fricken day and time it does it need advice

Have you tried unplugging or bypassing the clutch switch?

That doesn't make sense why the clutch switch would cause the car to die. There are actually 2 switches - one that tells the cruise control and the like that you pushed in the clutch, and one that keeps you from starting the car without pushing in the clutch. Neither should cause the car to stall, unless someone wired in something very weird .
