Thumbs down idle issue

I have a 2000 acura tl with 86000 miles on it, I just bought it from a dealer recently. The problem that I am having is that ill drive around all day and sometimes when I go to turn it, it feels like the car is idleling low and then it will stall sometimes. has anyone experienced this problem before?? My mechanic told me that my idle sensor might be dirty but I just dont want to take it to him when I can work on it myself. If anyone knows anything about this please reply

is it actually idling other than 750 or it just "feels" like it, because my car idles in the proper RPM, but it feels like it "shutters" in rhythm. I think i have similar issues but my car only has 40k miles. What needs to be done?!

Whatis the actual RPM that it idles at when it dies. And it only does it while your turning?

Well, if it's stalling, then it's obviously idling below 750. I would definitely say it's the IACV.
