2006 V6 Braking Accelerating Problem

My 2006 V6 Explorer engine revs to 1200-1500 rpms just before coming to a complete stop. It is almost as if I have foot on the brake and the gas pedal at the same time. This only happens for a fraction of a second just before stopping. It never happens while coasting. If I put the truck in neutral while coasting and then come to a complete stop the problem does not occur. This leads me to believe its a transmission issue. My ford dealer assures me this is normal. Call me crazy, but i simply can't believe this to be normal occurance. My old 1998 and 2004 explorers never did this. Can someone who works in a ford service department let me know if this is this normal? Can someone who drives a 2006 explorer confirm this condition in there truck? Thank you.

David -

My '02 with the 4.0L didn't do this; have you spoken to the service manager about it? If so, might be time to make a phone call or two - sure doesn't sound "normal" to me, but then I'm no expert on the "drive-by-wire" system.

My 2006 V6 does not do it. Not normal by any stretch of imagination.

Had this problem, cleaning the AIC cured it.

AIC, Air Input Control valve, lays on the intake manifold to regulate the idle, cylindrical in shape with a 2 bolt flange and an electrical connection. Take it off and clean the inside with throttle body cleaner
