so recently i had a random stall. one yesterday and another almost stall today both times though i was braking normally and the car suddenly died or rpm dropped just before stalling. its not consistent since i tried to redo it but no luck. is it something i should be worried? any suggestions as to where i should look?

thanks in advance

Clean the screens on the IACV, the vacuum ports in the throttle body (have a new gasket ready), check the tightness of the throttle cable, check for vacuum leaks in your hoses, check the base ignition timing.
