Another idle problem...

A few times over the last couple of days, I'll be driving along and my Bronco II will hiccup. Like it shuts off, but I'm still in gear at highway speed so it starts again immediately. The oil, brake, and check engine lights come on for just that half second and then they're off. As soon as I let off the gas with it in neutral, it'll die. Like, pull it out of gear while approaching a stop sign. If I pop the clutch to start it, the motor will run until I let off the gas in neutral. If I start with the key, it'll idle fine until the problem happens later.
I don't even know where to start looking for this one... All I've done recently was clean my IAC because it wasn't idling right (fixed the problem) and clean and oil my K&N filter because it was filthy. Just for the record, I didn't douche the filter in oil like some people do. I gave it a light coat.
