Vehicle stalls out under when slowing down or stopping usually starts right back up.

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try eliminating any vacuum leaks and cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.

That's not as big an issue on this later model stuff. You can't simply unplug a connector on these because most of the transmission is electronic control.

Yes, had already done that before the IAC. It was very nasty, but didn't improve the problem.

Then someone is going to have to analyze the sensor data to determine what is going on with the engine. The data can be interpreted by someone that knows what to look for.

We did all of the above without any improvements. What seemed to finally do the trick was changing the distributor shaft. It's running good now.
