I wouldn't do anything, and take it back to the shop and tell them they need to fix it correctly.

my ka-beast used to do the same thing- i changed the plugs (NGK Iridium IX) and new fuel filter, problem solved- btw the stock idle speed is only s'posed to be 700rpm, mine used to dive down to 400

sounds like your clutch is ****ed up like mine. Think of it this way. if you have to put it into neutral to keep it alive then theres something messed with your clutch not holding.

Mine used to idle at 1000 but sometimes it drops to 200 but mostly 500. It has died a couple times where I had to give it gas to keep it from stalling.

Let me know if those new plugs and wires work tho. cars work in strange ways.
