Sounds like you need an Idle Air Control (IAC).

Swap the ASD relay with the horn relay. Why? It can’t hurt; it might help.

[b]From how you describe the problem, it sounds like the Idle Air Control motor is malfunctioning. The IAC motor controls the engine idle speed under all conditions when the accelerator is released.

One way to determine if this is an idle air control circuit problem is, when the engine is just about to stall, slightly step on the accelerator. If doing this prevents the engine from stalling, suspect the IAC motor as being the problem.

Agreed. Sounds like the Idle Air valve.
