Engine loses power while driving

2010 Kizashi - standard transmission

Sometimes while driving I will push in the clutch and the RPM will drop to 0 and the engine will shut off. This means no power steering if I'm in a turn and I have to push to start the engine again. Sometimes I have to rev the engine to keep it from dying again. After one or two times of this happening it usually doesn't happen again on my drive and this only seems to happen when it is colder. Any help as to possible reasons this is happening would be appreciated!

It did that once with my previous A4 (only 110 000 km) and it was the fuel pump that went out.....but it happened once and I could not start the car afterward. Maybe yours is defective or something? Please guys don't laugh at me lol I know basically nothing about cars, but just sharing my experience...
