My 1997 Aurora would stall on off ramps, or other inopportune times, when I removed my foot from the accelerator, with indications of erratic idle or unachievable idle setting. I tried numerous professionals, all of which wanted to "start" with the Mass Air-Flow (MAF) sensor replacement - at considerable estimates ranging between $200-$450 (NOT INCLUDING LABOR). After ordering and studying the service manuals I realized that the Idle Air Control (IAC) should be investigated (new cost ~$80). But first I removed it (~ three minutes) and found a build up of carbon on the rubber plugger-like seal. Spraying/cleaning this surface with electronic aresol MAF cleaner (cost $2.56 from any parts store) corrected the problem coupled with a new K&N air filter (to improve performance) and my car has been idling perfect ever since.
