2004 ford taurus, starts fine, no elec. issues. If I let off on the accelerator it stops running instantly, no idle.

I was able to get it home by driving it like a manual, going to neutral at lights. When I parked it did idle for a few minutes but low RPM and rough.

Do not know if this is related but the AC stopped cooling as well about 30 minutes before it stalled the first time.

Check for any DTC and repair 1st
check for vacuum leak and around the PCV valve
check and suspect idle air control
