On my way home from work notice that driving at 2000rpm my car was struggleing and hesitating to go, then at the red light i pulled up to my car started struggling to idle. When i came up to the next light the oil pressure dropped way down and then few seconds later the car shut off. I started the car back up and continued on. It runs fine if you are going but the minute i push the clutch in or if the rpms get about 1200 somewhere in that range it shuts off.
Any suggestions?

Any codes? Strange sounds? Smoke from the exhaust? If smoke, black or white? Is the car stock?
When your oil pressure dropped, was it just dropping in conjunction with your RPM drops?

The oil pressure drops were probably a direct variable of the RPMs and the engine bogging.
