Strange Idling Problem - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

I have a '94 EB and have been having some problems recently. When I am breaking (i.e. for a stop sign) and have slowed to a near stop my engine will suddenly rev and the truck feels like it's going to accelerate. This only lasts for a second and the truck never actually accelerates and then returns to normal. Additionally, I was pulling into my garage the other day and as I was breaking to park, my engine shut off. The battery and check engine lights came on. I stopped the truck, put it in park, and started it up. It started up just fine and I was able to park.

Any ideas what's going on?

May be a good time to clean your Idle air control valve, and check your EGR.
