Question
My 2002 camry has about 130,000 miles.  about 6 months ago it started stalling at stops, when slowing down to turn.  It does it about every 100 miles.  Mechanic has not been able to duplicate problem and nothing shows on diagnostic.
thanks for your help

Answer
Possibly the IAAV valve is sticking.This will not show on the obd.The valve is on the throttle body and can be removed and cleaned as it contains a small plunger,piston type electro magnet.Other possible cause may be blocked fuel filter or small vacuum leak.Look for vacuum hoses which may be leaking.Do a vacuum test with a proper tester.
