Default FXDC cuts out on closed throttle

Hi,
My 2013 FXDC has started cutting out when I shut the throttle when approaching a roundabout or queue of cars etc. It doesn't always do it, and usually restarts just fine.
Could it be the IAC? Any other ideas?
Thanks Guys - and Gals.
Clive

Yes, it could. And probably is.
Could also be battery and ground connections.
More info would help, such as miles, mods, tuner, etc. It's hard to diagnose a problem over the internet with so little background.

Default Thanks Nevil

No mods apart fron Vance & Hines pipes, so it pops back a lot now.
I removed the air cleaner and sprayed carb cleaner up into the IAC. It was fine on the ride to work this morning so fingers crossed.
I'll check all the connections as well that you suggest.
Thanks for your help.
Clive.
