Default Engine stops

My 04 Softtail 88B with power commander is dying whenever I let off the gas. Does it have an idle sensor on the fuel injection that may be going out or is it in the power commander?

Did you just put it on? If its new it needs to be set up, but if not it's easy to unplug and tell if the pc is at fault or not.,,
