My car has been running for 5 minutes. When I step on the clutch and brake, the idle drop very quickly and died. Does anybody know why?

Search, there a plenty of threads covering a rough idle.

Clean throttle body and Idle Air Control Valve (IACV), if problem persists, could possibly be a faulty throttle positioning sensor (TPS)

Sounds like a vacuum issue with a master cylinder

Or booster. There's a large vacuum line that runs from the booster to the intake manifold. Check it for leaks.

Otherwise, as InfurNOS said, there are plenty of idle related threads. If searching on ozhonda engine doesn't bring them up, search on google with "ozhonda" on the end.

Just out of curiosity, if stepping on the brake is causing the issue, what does the throttle components have to do with it?

Thank you so much guys. Honda told me it was the oxygen sensor problem.

Did it work? I don't understand how the O2 sensor (on your exhaust manifold I presume?) would effect your idle when you punch your brake/clutch.

Funnily enough my idle issue with brake pedal happened after cleaning my O2 sensor. But I also lose pressure so I assume I have an air pocket in the hydraulic system...
