Default Code- Idle control 96 2.8L 12v

Hey Guys,
Just pulled a code this morning. Had been on the highway ~30mins then while coasting the off ramp the car stalled and the check engine light came on.
There's an auto parts store near my work so I had them check it and it read the Idle control fault. They reset it, but do you guys have any suggestions?

forgot to mention that the temps were single digit this morning. First time this year, if that would make a difference.

Default When the temperature is low the AC is locked out and the Idle RPM drops 2-300 RPM

Sounds like your Idle Control Valve needs a clean.Probably won't close down to the lower RPM position.
