Unhappy car keeps wanting to die!! :(

ok so last night iwas driving home, mind u it was like freezing rain all nice, literally just pouring down ice...lol it was not fun, ne ways, car started fine, drives smooth, just i noticed that when everytime i was coming to a stop the rpms dropped to like 300ish, and felt like the car was just gonna die, but it holds it own and goes back up to 400-500 when in drive stopped, but when i got on the gas again it seemed fiune, no ses light or anything, i dont hear anything wierd....could something have gotten frozen??? ALSO, when i was driving at about anywhere from like 15mph to i dunno 40ish i wanna say everytime i let off the gas to like coast to a stop, the rpms went down to like 400-500...seemed really low to be coastin, mind u it is a A4 also.....any ideas what could be happening????

Default

it could be your throttle position sensor, on the throttle body... ... when mine went bad it did what yours did, but it would also surge a little. replaced it and the car ran like a dream.
