Default Rpm drops too low

Hello , why does my car dies almost every time when I drive it, I push the clutch in and rpm drops but so low that it dies. Another thing is starting. It won't start unless I hold the gas pedal down. It starts every time but I have to give it little gas. It's really annoying sometimes the rpm drops low but the engine somehow recovers.

Example to be clear what happens. I'm on 3rd gear coming to red light , I push in the clutch rpm stars dropping ( I have the 928 light weight flywheel) a sec later car is dead so to start it I have to press little on gas pedal when cranking.

????????? Thanks for help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idle control valve is stuck closed would be my guess. Is there an IAC valve on the 85's?
