Stalling problems

Hello! I have a strange problem (to me). I drive a manual transmission 1994 Mitsubishi galant (SOHC), has about 130k miles on it however was overhauled a couple years ago. My problem lies with stalling while coasting with the clutch disengaged. It started gradually when the clutch was disengaged it would idle lower than normal (between 400-700 rpm). Soon enough while the clutch would be disengaged it will "gasp for air" jumping between 0-800 rpm and eventually stall. However, after restarting the car a multitude if times after stalling (typically 3-7) it works fine and idles right around 1000rpm.
Ideas?

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try eliminating any vacuum leaks and cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
