Angry 2001 Intrepid R/T stalls when slowing down

Any suggestions/help would be appreciated, so here goes:

Two months ago, my Intrepid suddenly started to die when slowing down. I narrowed this problem down and found that it only occurs after traveling high speeds when the car is warm (after running for 10 minutes or so). Even though it dies, I get no error codes and the car starts right back up, no problem. I took it to a local shop and they cleaned the entire fuel system, but this did not fix the problem.

Next, the shop decided it had to be the idle motor. I found out today that this is not the problem either, as it died on them after installing the new one.

I must mention that the car is perfectly driveable until you slow down from high speeds. Actually, if I slow the car down by downshifting with Autostick to keep the RPMs up, I can come to a complete stop and the car will be just fine.

I'm so frustrated and puzzled. Any thoughts? Thanks!
