a common issue with the d 15 engines is the IAC (idle air controller). It should be located on the intake near the throttle body. Go ahead and remove it, there is a screen inside if there is carbon build up on it that can cause the engine to have a rough idle and stumble upon decel. You can clean it just to check if that helps the issue, if it helps with your issue then go ahead and replace it. The idle air is a sensitive piece of the engine and can fail completely when you clean it out, so make sure you replace it if it fixes the issue.
