95 DC2. The car starts just fine in the mornings. I drive it until it gets to running temp. I hit the clutch to stop and the car drops under 500 rpm and dies. i.ve checked the battery and ground. is there anything else i should check. anyone ever had that this happen to them?

i'm with chris up there^ IAC is sticking shut when the car drops in rpm's too quickly
