Default Saxo keeps cutting out when i put clutch in!

i have a 1.1 saxo which cuts out now and again when i put the clutch in to change gear (sometimes when im going at some speed), the idle also goes crazy sometimes and starts reving and dropping again, any ideas of what it could be? friend told me i should clean my K&N out? please help
