Sometimes when my car idles it shuts off by itself. It's like it idles lower and lower until it finally just shuts off. Yesterday it literally did it everytime I stopped, I went through a drive through and someone at the window asked if my car was camming, I asked him what he was smoking. The car isn't having any other problems, nothing else seems to be wrong. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

Edit; I should have searched first. I'm gonna clean the IAC and see if that fixes the problem.

shes got a 4.6 though. when mine did that, it was the iac. cleaning it and the maf should help but it could just be going out.
