Idle stepper motor thing would be my guess.
Mrs Ds Pajero does that from time to time, sometimes it does stall when going round corners, or when stopped.

Pull the airbox out, get to the ISC(idle stepper motor), clean it up with carby cleaner, clean out the throttle body too, and it should be good.

Thats what I do to the Paj.
