When I como to a stop in my truck, the idle drops down to below 500 and either cutts off or jumps back up and is good until I take off and stop again. I have cleaned the throttle body with carb cleaner and a tooth brush and it doesn't cut off as much but it still tries to. What should I look into next?

Also remove IAC valve and clean
if battery was disconnected before the clean was done have to disconnect battery
clean throttle and IAC valve reconnect battery and drive for few miles
for the PCM to relearn idle

check for ant vacuum leaks
check intake manifold gasket for leak
