Could be IAC valve, or it could be the timing chain, or any of two or 3 other things. Invest in an EEC-IV digital code reader for about $35 and pull codes to help pinpoint the problem.

How about when you speed it up a little with your foot on the gas... Does it shut off then?
Act the same, hot and cold?
