help...car shuts down after braking

when i start the car i have no problems, its starts very good ...when the car is in park it it idles at about 700 when i put it in drive it drops down to 650 then when the car has been driven it drops down to sometimes485-550 with vibration.. when in reverse is is always about 500 with vibration....

i was drivng and when i was braking the car went from 40 to 0 and i could see the rpm drop (bounce out of gears) but and when i came to 0 it just died! i restarted 2x and same thing ...i had to hits the gas for it to be normal again it happen 4x in 2 week...

did all tune up including tb cleaning..would the air idle valve be a problem...i checked the brake vacuum and no signs of leak...don't know wat else to do ....no CEL

yeah take off and clean the IACV, i had a similar problem without the stalling but the rpms would bounce when braking. It's held by 3 bolts i believe so it's simple

If cleaning your IACV doesnt help, it might be your maf. If you MAF sensor is on its way out it may not throw a CEL but it can cause your car to die out when comming to a stop.

THANKS alot guys, but i think that i found the problem

i left the throtle body open (the part where you use a flat head to screw it tight) i could of almost felt suction comming from outside and not the black throtle mouth piece ,and that was the probable cause for the Maf no workin.....again thanks
