Post subject: Ranger randomly shuts off

Hey guys, my 2002 Ford Ranger 5 Spd. will randomly shut off while i'm driving. This typically happens once I shift into neutral and slowing down. I haven't checked anything yet, I just wanted to get some input.

Checked the fuel mixture? At idle an improper fuel mixture could stall the engine.

also, does it tend to happen more when the engine's cold or hot?

"Check the fuel mixture"? And just how would you propose to do that?

Been away from the computer and did not read through all of this, but it
sounds more like the Idle Air Control. If no one mentioned it, start there.
