Well yesterday, after much research to my question. I found that a number of people were cleaning their Idle control valve (EACV).
I removed it (Do Not Remove Valves) cleaned with throttle body cleaner to remove all the carbon, opened the coolant port, to my surprise it was coated with rusty, coolant sludge.
I used a air compressor to ensure that everthing dried completely.
Reassembled useing blue RTV to coat the coolant port gasket and copper coat to coat the valve port gasket.
And today it was not trying to stall out with the A/C engaged when stopped or coming to a stop.
This is a must do if you have low RPMs under A/C load.
