Is there a TSB or service bulletin for the Idle air control valve causing stalling?
I have had my car stall twice on me for no reason. First time was clutch in going from 3rd to 2nd trying to pull into a parking lot and the engine dies. Second time was clutch in coming to a stop to do a Michigan left. Restarts fine. Both times I almost crashed since the power steering wasn't working. Had to grab the wheel with both hands and steer like a madman.

I've heard of IAC problems commonly after 60k-75k miles. I've never heard of a TSB for it though. How many miles do you have on your car and what year is it?

I have an ALLDATA subscription and I do not see any TSB's for the IAC.

This is a dangerous problem. Anytime a car loses power/turns off without notice is a major issue.

Does turning up the idle help?

all you need to do is replace the IAC. it costs ~$45 at any auto parts store. I've had to replace mine 3x already. its no big deal
