Surging Idle and Engine dying

My 2007 F150 2wd has started having issues with the idle. When I am sitting at a stoplight, it will act like it is searching for the proper idle speed. Yesterday, I was turning a corner and the engine just died. Started right back up with no other issues. The truck has about 36,500 miles on it and the truck is all stock. It just started doing this in the past week. When it first started, I thought it may be a weather related issue because it got really humid for several days. Well the weather is back to normal, but the truck is not. Any ideas?

I bought the truck used, but I think it has an extended warranty on it. Guess I will have to take to the dealer to see what they find. The three years ran out on it on February of this year.

I will check the IAC to see if that helps. I really don't want to take it to the dealer, I can't ever get out of there for less than $100.00
