maybe the IAC valve...mine did the same thing today and just cut off at the light...it starting idleling really low around 500 and just died...i think its the cold weather here and the engine wasnt warmed up so maybe thats it..i hope so at least; but just try cleaning your IAC valve with carbon deposit cleaner and see if that helps any...

yeah almost like a seafoam treatment...but if you dont want to waste anymore money on the seafoam than go to your local auto store and get a can of carbon deposit cleaner, remove the valve and the tip of it will prolly be totally black from carbon; spray the tip with the cleaner and voila! smooth idle once again...im gonna do it tomorrow prolly when i have a free minute to spare...good luck!
