Default car stalling out at red lights....?

Hello, my car wants to stall out when I am sitting at a red light. Its not all the time either. Seems to really act up after really gettin up on it, like after racing somebody. I know when its coming because, for about 10 seconds or so before it shuts off completely it sounds like its gonna die several times, like the power drains, then comes back, then drains, and repeats like that several times before finally turning itself off.

If anybody has any idea on what may be causing this, what to look for, and/or how to fix it, then please help me out.

Thank you,
Moe

Ok, thank you so much. I did check the iac, cleaned it and its definitely running better. However, I am still not able to idle at 1000rpms. That should be where it idles at right? I'm only at about 750. Any clue?
