Does it not idle at all.. Or is it just when your revving down to idle..

what make your car die? if your car do not have enough air it will die.
wrong timing can cause your car to idle too low and eventually die.

WTF are you talking about, who cares!! What the hell do you think HT is for? Its one method of help to avoid your dealerships crazy high prices for simple fixes. So if you don't have anything that can help then don't say **** at all.

Back to the topic, check your idle screw for starters (simplest stuff first), also check for any vaccuum leaks as that was a problem i had with my idle not being stable. Then lastly i would check your timing if you say your iacv is fine. Other then that we would need more info on engine or maybe if there is a CEL (could be grounds or somthing electrical). Good luck!!
