Replace your Idle Air Control Valve. It is located on the backside of your throttle body. Try Partsgeek or Rockauto.

1990 Buick century stalls out when coming to a stop. Doesn’t do it every time. Has really bad spells then might smooth out. But still consistent. Any idea what it might be? Oh and if it stalls out it will start right back up, but as soon as I put it in drive it will stall out again
