"the car runs out with an idling engine. "

I'm sure I understand what you mean by "runs out". If you're at 4k, in gear, and push in the clutch, the driveline is now disengaged and the clutch disc and driveshaft will spin at whatever speed your going (being driven from the rear by the rear wheels). The engine will idle down and will spin at idle (pressure plate/flywheel/etc.). If you blip the throttle, the motor will spin up, but the clutch/driveshaft will not.

Now, if you're sitting still, in neutral, pedal out, motor/clutch/driveshaft/gearbox input shaft (remember we're in neutral) will spin at engine speed. Push in the clutch pedal, clutch disc, driveshaft, input shaft will stop spinning. Clear as mud?
