Engine stalls when coming to stop.
Starts without a problem, idles fine. After driving a few blocks when coming to a stop the RPMS drop to 400, sometimes bounces back mostly stalls. Restarts with out a problem. And idles at 650 ... take off and at next signal will stall again.
Can't find any air leaks around the intake ... what am I missing???.
No codes show up.

Most of the time when this happens, Its a vacuum leak.. Most of the vacuum leaks are caused by cracked/deteriorated rubber fittings OR a dirty fouled MAF.
Remove the entire air bridge / air filter assembly and clean the MAF will MAF cleaner.
Follow the PCV lines around and behind the intake manifold and make sure that the rubber and Nylon fittings are nor deteriorated or cracked.

Cleaned the MAF , checked for leaks and found one .. also noticed the throttle bottle was very dirty .. I think that was the real problem the paddle was sticking and sluggish ... clean it with the MAF cleaner and it purrs like a big cat now!
