You didn’t say the year but.

I think you need the throttle body cleaned especially the IAC idle control.

A link this is for a V8 I think but they are the same basically not the 4.7 V8 the older V8's

+1 on cleaning the IAC. I cleaned my IAC recently and it made a world of difference in my truck when my RPM's would get too low when I was coming to a stop, especially with the A/C on.

Agree. Take the throttle body off and give it a good cleaning and the IAC too. This will help settle out the R.P.M 's
