stalling at idle

My 04 f150 will stall on me when I brake. It accelerates well and runs good but when I come to a stop my idle goes low and sometimes it stalls. I got the plugs changed and fuel filter changed too. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem and get it idling normal again.

Could be that your throttlebody needs to be cleaned. I've never done it, but several others here have said that it fixed idle problems. Do a search in this forum for "rough idle" or "clean throttlebody" and you can find their posts

WOULD A VACUM LEAK CAUSE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS?

I believe the idle control is part of the throttle body on the 04-08 trucks not a separate part.
