Idling problem-car drops down to 500rpms at neatral


When Im driving and stoping at a red light I put the car in neutral and im coasting and my rpms will drop down to 500 and make a noise like its stuck and until I stop it will go back up to normal.

I was stalling out before and Ive replaced the IAC and PCV valve. Sometimes at start up it will drop down to 500 and bounce back up to 1000. What can this be its driving me crazy? EGR valve?

EGR could cause Idle problems if it's staying open.

IDK mine actually does the opposite, it will stay at 1000 til I come to a stop.

You could try cleaning the TB. Might be sticking and not opening enough at idle.
