Strange Idling Problem

I have a 91 Camaro RS with a 3.1L engine and sometimes when you are stopping when the car gets close to idle again it just dies. If you give the car just a little gas when stopping everything is fine. The car idles fine any other time. Sometime the check engine light will come on when driving and displays a code 32. Not sure if this is connected to the problem. My wife is driving the car now and I am tired of hearing her bitch about it so I need some help to get this fixed.:hail:

Larry,

Unfortunately, in order to stop the noise from the left front seat, you're going to have to do some work.

The first step would be to clean the throttle body and IAC, and test the TPS sensor for idle voltage and linearity. The cleaning alone could solve your problem.

Can you tell me where to find some information on doing these things. I can work on them, just need to know the proper way to do it. Thank you for the help.
