if this is a California Smogger, there's an EGR valve connected to bring down the combustion temperature by introducing exhaust into the intake on de-celeration....perhaps yours is equipped with California smog...disassemble and clean this valve if you have one-- depending on your mileage, might be a throttle position sensor, an ambient air temperature sensor a idle air control sensor, or a vacuum line that's fallen off~ PCV valve will cause it to not idle correctly as well~
