1997 Chevy S-10 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 150K miles

When driving and I depress the clutch I lose all power, my headlights dim and eventually the engine stalls. It will do this every time and when coming to a stop if I do not use the brake or give it a litttle gas to keep the engine revs up. I also have a problem with it stalling after letting off the brakes, it will rev up when brake is depressed then want to stall after letting up on the pedal.

If your saying it won't idle, closed throttle. I would start there, check for codes--- check fuel pressure--- check idle air system. How long since tuneup?

Some of the national brand autostores will check codes for free.
