Perhaps there is an issue with it that relates so the bog problem and the issue with the AC on when stopping.

I am not familiar with the setup so I can't be of much help.
I would do a search here on the forum and a general search on the "net".

I would scan you OBDII for codes or pending codes if the CEL has not set.
Then do some research and learn what you can about idle control valve issues.

I am not saying there is an issue with it just pointing out something to look at

Yes the code is thrown quite a bit actually, never really care since it goes away after a couple days anyways. I have looked up the valve on pelican parts, about $40 so not terrible, maybe it can be a winter project. I’ll have to locate it first and give it a look, maybe just needs a cleaning.

If The code your throwing is related to the IACV it is going to be directly related to all your running, stalling issues.
What is the code???

Both of those codes are for issues with the secondary air injection system.
Sounds like you have multiple issues going on with the car.

Yes, the fixes for those are oxygen sensors or an air diverter valve but like i said thats from April this year( had the car a while, things tend to pop up every now and then, depending on the severity i fix them right away) I don’t see any from scanning concerning any with the IACV.
