Default Idle problem

About 2-3 a week my 1999 Mustang GT will stall while Im at a light. It cranks right back up. Right before this happens, the RPM's jump from 500-1200 a few times then it just dies. Do you'll think it is the idle air control valve? Something else?

Try cleaning the TB and IAC with throttle body cleaner. My wifes 00 GT had the same problem, once I cleaned them both the problem went away.
