Sounds like it could be your problem, I had the same thing. Basically ECU can't get a speed signal so cuts the engine. God knows why.

But weird you ran for a year with no problem.

Could be your speed sensor too.

Im God because i know why

No speed signal means when you come to a stop and dump the clutch the ECU doesn't know you have stopped and therefore doesn't tell the IAC valve to pulse causing the engine to cut out

Mech speedo?

There is a transducer in the dials. If thats fcuk'd you need to change the dials as it sends a signal to the ECU.

im guessing it's an c20xe?

the ecu doesn't need a speed signal..

it will most likely be the icv

also, try adjusting the throttle cable slightly
