I bought this car from a guy at work and the only thing he said that was wrong with it is after the car is warmed up, when you go to stop it stalls. That is the only problem I have had with for the past 4 months. I took and had the check engine light looked at they said it was the cam positioning sensor. Bought and it didn't change anything. I did some research and found that it could be the idle air control valve or motor. Any advice?

I have replaced alot of IAC (idle air control) valves on Fords for just such a problem. They get slow and sometimes wont set teh check engine light even though they arent working properly. Also clean out around the butterfly in the throttle bore with carb cleaner on a rag, this will also help stabilize the idle
