Engine died on me.

Not blew up thankfully.

It died coming to a stop sign. The RPM's dipped to about 500, 700, 300 and it cut off. Started right back up... Im gonna go ahead and say the IAC is at fault... just wanna make sure.

Spray the IAC out with some carb cleaner, keep the solenoid/electronics up so the carb cleaner does not run down in where the electronics are.

In a pinch you can also tap the IAC with a long handled screw driver if it is stuck really bad.

If you don't have any luck after you clean the old IAC valve just
get a new Motorcraft IAC valve.I had almost the same problem
as you but, my idle was horrible.I didn't even bother trying to clean
the old IAC.I just went to Ford and got a brand new IAC valve.Installed
it and my problem was gone.

Yeah, I got a new Motorcraft one also actually...
