Default sc400 stalling

Hey guys i was comming to a stop light today and my car all of sudden stalled out. Luckily i was almost at a complete stop. I had to put it in park and turn the key again.

Im not sure if its cus my rpm dropped to low or wat happened. Has anyone ever had this problem??

Brake masters just replaced my radiator. I hope they didnt molest my car. If anyone has any ideas on whats going on pls chime in. thnx!

Check your fuel pump and fuel pump ECU.

You may also want to check your Idle Air Bypass. Don't know if thats it, but it can give you trouble after a lot of mileage. It's on the front of the intake manifold on the early 1UZ. it's cylinder shaped, and 1/2 of it is sticking through the plastic molding on the motor. I believe 2 bolts hold it to the intake.
Taking it apart & cleaning it is supposed to help this. It may be something to check.

Was your AC on? I've heard a few people with sc4's having that issue while they had their AC on, not sure why though.
