I have a 2005 Ford F-250 super duty/5.4L gas/auto(trans.)/2-wheel drive/125,000 miles.The problem i'm having is when i'm driving(in drive) everything is fine,rpms are fine,runs smooth,everythings good but,when i brake coming to a stop the rpms drop down to around 250 rpms and it acts like it wants to die(stall) but,it doesn't.Then when i come to a complete stop the rpms will come back up,everythings fine,idol's good.Also,when i back up( in reverse) and cut(Turn) the wheels hard,it dies(stall).In the last couple of days however, when i'm at a stop(in drive) and cut the wheel hard it will die(stall) sometimes not always and just started doing that in drive.Can anyone help?Thanks,guys.

sounds to me like you have an idle air control problem either in the motor or in the wiring going to it. it is the valve on the back of the intake with the two wires going to it. check that they are not corroded. the base plate of the valve looks like a dimond shape and 2 bolts holding it down.
