Does the car start right up again after stalling? Does it stall every time you drive it. Does it stall going down the road or just at stop signs. Please give us all the information you can so we can help you.

The car stalls 1 or twice when driving. It starts up right away if it does stall. What happens is when in neutruel and stopping the RPM drops below 100 and it will either stay on until the car stops to adjust back to 700 or it will stall.

From your description, I would suspect the idle air control valve. It is located on the bottom side of the throttle body. It may just need to be cleaned. An ordinary can of carb cleaner usually does the trick if you remove the valve and spray it down. Whilw you're at it, check around the intake manifold for vacuum leaks.
