I have a 97 Olds Bravada that randomly stalls while driving at low speeds, when I'm slowing to a stop or to make a turn. The engine stalls yet I still have power and dash lights. Once I pull over I can restart the car and it's fine. My mechanic can't duplicate the problem and diagnostics did not show any error codes. The starter, battery, and alternator all check out. The check engine light is not on. This is an intermittent problem but it will happen more often in the mornings. Any suggestions?

First eliminate all vacuum or air leaks in the system. You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
