The car drives fine on free way or the regular road, the problem is when i come to a stop the idle seems like it wants to die, but never does. there is no engine light on. (i also scanned it). i checked the fuel presure regulator, seemed to be good. i sprayed carb cleaner around the hoeses, while running no leaks. there are new plugs.

Try cleaning out the idle air control valve and the EGR and PCV valves and test the throttle position sensor and airflow meter.
