My manual 1996 vs commodore executive 3.8L ecotec keeps stalling when I come to a stop even with my clutch in, I have to rev match to make it not stall when I stop, I’ve already checked my ecu and it’s Manual

Check your vacuum hoses first up. A couple are on the back of the plenum, one under the throttle body and then one just in front of the throttle plate (not truly vacuum but can give you the same symptom.). Check the full run of each hose for cracks and splits.

Does this cause engine lights to go on? Cause my engine light is also on

My 1996 Manual VS commodore stalls when I come to a stop, I have to rev match before stopping to keep my car going, my check engine light comes on when it happens, my VS has a loose clutch too with the break point all the way at the top of the clutch but I am confused on what it is and stressing, does anybody have any ideas?

Could have an air leak in the intake pipe or manifold somewhere.

I'm gonna get an alias for when I really need the entire site to drop what they're doing and help me.

Something like sexysinglesuzie should do it.

What's that got to do with helping the OP ?
Everybody is usually assisted/helped with their questions/enquiries on JC's
Where some questions do take longer than others to answer, because some/certain members may not of had the same sort of error they can provide a answer for.
The times that the thread were answered by multiple members was in a reasonable time,
Not everyone sits on their PC 24/7 ready to answer questions, everybody has different priorities, and family commitments.
