Strange problem that has me stumped

On my 190, recently I am experiencing a problem that I can't seem to figure out. While braking or slowing down, I often hit the clutch and put the transmission in neutral, however, the RPM's go so low that the car stalls(all the idiot lights turn on). When the car is still in motion, with the engine off, I can put the car into 2nd gear... RELEASE the clutch and bam... the car is back on again. While driving or acceleratingly, the car behaves normally. Its only while braking that I experience this annoying symptom. The car can stall in both ways, one with the car slowing down in neutral... the other, with the car slowing down with the clutch depressed all the way down. In both cases, if the car has not slowed down fully, I can put the car in 1 or 2nd gear and let go of the clutch to have it start up again.

Any ideas on where I should look into?

thanks inadvance
