Default Almost Stalling

Hey Guys!
I have a 98 C5 with a little over 160,000 miles on it. I runs pretty good , but recently, when I stop quickly from a higher speed it seem to almost stall. Then runs like nothing happened. I was wondering what could cause that?

When was the last time you cleaned your MAF and throttle body?

My 98 does this after it warms up. whenever I come to a stop, I have to shift to neutral or the engine will die. I will be watching your thread for potential solutions.
