Default having some problems

When I stop somewhere and leave my car running, whether it's at a stop light or just stopping to wait somewhere the revs dip tremendously and sometimes the car just stalls. I've got a 96 with 75k on it...any suggestions? Thanks

Default This is a classic problem on the 12 valve V6 with your mileage.

Clean your Mass Air Flow sensor, clean your Idle Control Valve, clean your Throttle Body. Replace your vacuum hoses. Parts less than $20 about 2 1/2 hours labor.If you take it to the dealer he may try to replace the MAF and ICV which is usually not necessary.
