Default intermittent stall

2007 ultraclassic with 17k miles on, I have jackpot slipons, air filter, and power commander. Runs very well but occasionally have a rough idle stall situation after it is warmed up. When I do stall, if I cycle the kill switch and restart it is ok again until next episode usually a couple of days in between. I am thinking it is the Idle Air Control Motor(kit) and was just going to replace it and see if problem goes away. Any thoughts?

Yes I would strongly suggest looking at the IAC, it is a pretty common issue. Fortunately it is a pretty inexpensive repair.

Same thing with my 07 but cleaning the orifice of the IAC in the throttle body fixes it every time.

You probably won't need to replace it. Just cycle the IAC with the switch while spraying cleaner in the hole.

Just to update, cleaning worked well until I racked up about 600 miles over a couple weeks time, then the idle started to miss. Cleaned it again and everything is fine. Sound about right? thanx 4 your help

Probably. Might have had a little bit of crap break loose.
