Question Sick Cobra Needs HELP!

Had the oil changed and now my car is running rough. When slowing down to make a right hand turn the car cuts off but starts right back up when you start it. I have noticed while sitting at a stop light that my rpm's are sticking around 2300...sometimes tapping on the gas drops the rpm's but not always. Just last night the car died while coming to a stop at a stop sign. If the motors not at 2300 rpm's it's either just right or falls below normal and starts sputtering. Any ideas? Air filter is clean and oiled, fuel pump is working..plugs and wires look good...

check the easy stuff before taking it somwhere. MAF easily gets dirty, try taking it off and spraying some MAF cleaner in there. Also all your linkages for something that could be blocking it or making it stick. Maybe check the TPS, i had a issue with weird idle and sprayed some electrical cleaner and it fixed it. Mainly check all of your main items on the intake and Tb. Only takes small amounts of dirt to mess with the car computer.
