Check your ignition wire for grounding.

Have you checked the codes, fuel pressure, for vacuum leaks, and checked for loose or corroded connections at the battery, various grounds, and computer?

Default no just stalling when turning

acceleration is good. it seems to be when i apply the brakes that it stalls. it doesn't matter if i am turning or going straight. if i touch the brakes a little to hard it stalls

Was the replacement of the IAC in response to this problem or did this stalling start after the IAC replacement?

Did you play with the idle speed? Before I knew better, I played with mine and it caused some stalling out. There's a procedure to setting the idle speed that includes a tach and an FSM for the proper procedure.

Same thing happened to my Range Rover after I set the idle UP once. at every stop light if I had to get on the brakes harder than normal it would stall. Set the idl;e back to normal, stalling stopped.
