Stalling Car at low idle and shaking at braking

I have had a 97 riv supercharge for about 3 years now. Minor problems up until now, I NEED HELP.

Problem 1: The car runs fine on the highway (high RPMS) but when comming to a stop it sometimes stalls out. I noticed the RPMs getting low, like below 500. I drove this car for 4 hours on the HWY today and when I got back in town it stalled 4 times. It starts up very easily after the stall. Anyone?

Problem 2: I took the car into the shop because when i started to brake after exiting the highway the car was shaking badly. They turned the rotors and installed new brakes. The car was like new. After 2 months it just as bad as before.

I need help!!!
James

Check & clean the idle air control and get some quality front brake parts like Raysbestos Advanced Technology or Bendix rotors with matching pads.

I have this same condition right now with my 98 Riv right now. Where is the idle air control and how do you clean it? I checked the codes and I am getting a P0102 (MAF or VAF A circuit low imput). I'm sure this could be related also correct.

Sorry if I hijacked this thread, but I thought it was was related.
