Engine cuts out

My recently rebuilt '94 Altima dies when letting off the gas, like on a freeway off-ramp. The idle is usually fine, just had the leaky intake manifold gasket repaired. Anyone had this problem before? I occasionally hear a slight hissing sound near the Idle Air Control valve. Thanks.

a friend of mine had that problem. He had a leak after the MAF, intake. The air was escaping into the atmosphere. He ghetto rigged it w/some tape and it fixed the problem. Hope this helps.
