car cutting off when gear goes to neutral

hey all, recently I am experiencing this issue with car cutting off while driving. When I slow down for a stop or for a turn and I put the gear in neutral, the car will stall while moving. It doesn't stall every time, just once in a while, but most of the times the rpm will go down very low as if it will stall, then kicks back to around 1000rpm.
I figured it only happens after driving for at least 30 mins.
Does anyone know what is causing this?
I bought the car with intake, exhaust, dp, cams, and tp with already having it tuned. I replaced the tp to hfc after I bought it, and I'm wondering if this is causing the car to act like this..????? Could this be a tuning issue?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks,

It's definitely a tuning issue. Sounds like the idle, idle stepper and timing need to be adjusted in your ROM.

Your BOV isn't VTA, right?

on my 06 IX the IAC is bad and it does the same thing., might want to look into that. my car will idle fine when its cold, but once warmed up, it will stall on idle.

with those issues I usually start here:
fresh plugs
boost leak test
clean the maf

if the issue persists I look into the tune and make sure the idle settings match what the engine is actually doing. often I find the RPM biss screw was adjusted by a newb mechanic/tuner instead of from within the tune.

if it still persists I'm looking at the ISC

Also, what intake? Mine did this with the ETS intake the previous owner put on, it screws with the MAF readings.

Also occasionally threw Cam/Crank pos sensor codes after dying.
