a common cause for dies on decel is a dirty throttle body. The sides of the throttle plate build up deposits in the throttle body abd when you let off the gas you don't have the minimum air flow to keep the engine running before the IAC can adjust for it. Clean the throttle body and see if that takes care of the problem.

As for the voltage reading, you should verify the readings. It is possible that the computer may have a different voltage from battery voltage from bad connections somewhere between the battery and the computer. Corrosion in a connector of at a ground bolt can cause resistance dropping the voltage. So, check for good power and grounds at the ECM
