Default rpm's drop

when i break kinda hard, or sometimes whenever i break and come to a stop, my rpm's drop really low and it feels like the car is ganna stall. its never stalled. the rpms always jump back up to normal. i was just wondering if this is normal or not.

I bet if you clean the IAC, you will be good to go.

Idle Air Control valve. When you car is at idle, the throttle body is closed. W/o air the motor will die. The IAC allows air to bypass the TB. It operates automatically on a motor.
