Default Stalling, idle with foot on gas, dead spot @ half throttle

Hi all,

I am pretty good at troubleshooting and fixing but someone else view would be appreciated. My stang once in a while and intermittantly will die when I'm coming to a stop and push the clutch. It will restart but only after I push the gas pedal and I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it running. Also the car would bog and actually decelerate with my foot at half throttle but go like hell when I punch my foot to the floor. This happens only once in a while and if I get where I'm going and shut the car off and come back later to leave it drives like normal and I couldn't tell if there ever was a problem.

Heres what I have done so far: The IAC is new and I cleaned the MAF.

Does anybody know or heard of the TPS developing an intermittant dead spot?

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Later.

TPS is a good place to start.
