Engine Stalling When Coming To A Stop

Well, I feel like I have crossed this path before. I had a problem with the rpms dropping down and almost choking my 93 se out when coming to a stop and putting the clutch in. I reset the idle and it seemed to fix the problem. Now, when I come to a stop at a red light or slow down to make a turn with the clutch in, my car will stall. Of course, my power steering goes when the motor quits. Does anyone know what could be the problem. Could it be the pcv valve? I had the o2 sensor replaced a while back. Could it be the ecu?

What all did you adjust?

Idle position sensor, AAC valve, timing? Where are you located, TN?

lol, I have the near-exact same problem, though my car doesn't stall when making corners. I thought it might be a fuel problem, but injector cleaner and a new fuel filter have done nothing.
