coming to a stop my idle drops very low...

Guys,

When I slow down to a stop light, the idle drops very low (300-400rpm), that requires me to put it in neutral to have a idle around 700rpm. My car is auto. Sometimes the idle get so low that the car is about to shut off.

The car runs and drives fine other wise. What could be the source of the problem?

Also What harness are needed to install an aftermarket radio, my stock radio has no bose system. Reason for replacing, the power of the radio shuts off sometimes on itself, any clues to this problem

Commentst and suggestions appreciated.

You need to post miles and compression numbers to help diagnose your problem.

If compression is low, then it will effect how the Auto behaves at idle, and thus how well it maintains its idle. The idle air control, in my opinion, is not real robust at controlling the idle as compared to other cars. I have been told if the compression is low, there is little that can be done other than to adjust the idle up. I farted around with mine for a year until the period of denial had passed.
