Default car keeps shutting off dont know why... please help...

hey guys my da shuts off now and then its weird... as soon as i let it out of gear and the rpms drop, itll drop too low and just shut off sometimes i can save it by just reving it before rpms hit zero... but what could it be ? battery? alternator? belt? it starts right up afterwards.... it did it once last week and hasnt done it since today .it did it like 5 times today... please heellllp!!!! thank you!

the car runs fine when its in gear... it only bogs down when i take it out of gear.... but even sometimes when i take it out of gear itll drop pretty low and bounce back up to 1000 rpms.. my car is running rich i believe... well it sure as hell smells like it. im not really sure about my timing is though

Well since you are able to restart, then I don't think its' the battery or charging system. Start with IAC. make sure it's clean and operating. Next fuel pressure(could be a plugged fuel filter). Get a repair manual to help aid in trouble shooting.
