Default '90 Wagoneer stalling when coming to a stop

Ok just like the title says, the rig runs good except sometimes when you are coming to a stop, it'll die, it cranks back up and will idle all day but when you put it into gear and accelerate and then slow down it might die again. It's doesn't happen everytime but enough to where it is annoying. I also think it idles too low, what should it idle at (automatic)? Thanks. Coach

The clutch could be sticking. Does it jump or anything when it stalls, like a Manual would if you pop the clutch at a dead stop?

I'm not very knowledgeable about this, but it's most likely a transmission issue, thus most likely the clutch.

Idle air control valve in the throttle body sticking or clogged?

Mine was doing the same thing, I replaced the tps sensor and it seemed to fix it. I think cleaning the iac would be a good idea, but I haven't tried that on mine.
