sometimes when coming to a stop the RPMs dive like it's gonna quit running then it returns to normal.
I've never heard of this any ideas guys?

should i try putting in neutral before slowing down or attempt this when its diving? this happens very quickly so its not a lot of time to play with.

I suppose so, since it is happening quickly. However, I believe you stated that this is an intermittent problem, so it might be hard to tell if putting it in neutral before the "dive" occurs is actually affecting the issue in any way.
I will eventually replace the TPS and IAC to see if this resolves the problem.

I think it is easier to tell if the torque converter is unlocking/locking properly is by hold the pedal at a constant speed then tapping the brake pedal. You should see the RPMs go up 250-300 or so.
