2.8 30v dies when coming to a stop (just once in a while)

[mxhowes at aol.com]

Tony, My Bently (for the AHA) says that the idle speed stabilization is integrated in the throttle valve control module. Is this what I am looking for? They say that the individual components can't be replaced or adjusted. But I guess it could be cleaned.

Yes, there is on that engine, and I'd definately start by cleaning it. However, it's a bit of a pain to get to. But, that's the first place I look when troubleshooting intermittent dying at idle. It's the problem area about 90% of the time IME.

Isn't there an idle control valve on this engine?
