If that's correct, then it would help to know what model, year and engine it is.
What happens after letting up on the pedal if you don't give it gas again, will it actually stall, or does it just give a big hesitation and catch an idle again?
Does it only happen cold?, warm?, all the time?
Was there anything unusual you noticed before this started to happen?

First thing that came to mind was cracked hoses on the IAC, or a bad IAC valve. But that might give a few indications it was going bad before getting to this point.
Also the throttle micro switch that lets the fuel system know it should be in idle mode might have a similar affect if it isn't working properly?
Car model 91, 560sel Eur spec, there is no problem at all the times, idle is 650rpm when in park or on nuetral. 600rpm when in D and foot on brake. May be I explain it this way much better, when I drive the car, there is a smooth, no hesitation in acceleration no stalling at all. When I slightly take off my foot from the gas pedal, there is a feeling like power is being cut off and car start just rolling, when I just press little on gas pedal, like power does come back again and car has just received a little push from the back. No air vacuum leak is found, idle control valve , air breather hoses are all okay. Cold start is achieved within 2 seconds only. Car is neither stalled on warming up nor in driving mode.
