You shouldn't need to engage the throttle at all. If your engine dies with the clutch pulled in you need to tune the idle; maybe it's simply set too low.
Good luck!
I suspect it may be the idle speed. Because sometimes when I coast with clutch and don't use the throttle the engine has turned off. Hopefully, I don't need to pay a mechanic to check to make sure the idling speed is 1300 rpm (per 2-7 of service manual) with a tachometer because I'm not sure how to do it. :retard:
