Once a day when I turn my car on and drive for about 10 seconds, it wants to die. The rpm gauge will go down and it seems to want to turn off but it doesn't. It does about once a day and when I am approaching a stop sign is when it happens. Any idea what the problem might be? I don't know if this matters or not but I just changed the IAC valve.

After I disconnect the transmission converter torque clouth solenoid, what do I do? Do I disconnect it and connect back right after I disconnect it? How can you tell if the solenoid needs to be changed? Thank you for your help.I really appreciate it.
