Default Rpm dropping when stopping

Alot of the time when i come to a complete stop the rpms drop down to about 500 right after a stop. They just drop down and go right up lasting about a second. The idle is fine before and after the drop. It's been doing this for about a week. Its not acting like its going to die or anything, but I'm just seeing if its a sign of something starting to go bad.

IAC clogging up a little bit. Run some seafoam and clean it by hand.

Where can you "inject" the seafoam in our cars. Most cars is through the brake booster vacuum hose, but we don't have those.

Where is the BEST spot?

Sorry, not to threadjack, it just presented itself.

THANKS,
Phil

I always thought this was great, it's like Ford wants us to supercharge...
