Make sure the throttle valve is clean and also the ISC ports. Also any intake leak before the throttle valve can have the same effect.

There are several reasons why an engine can run right, but stall while idling: Faulty oxygen or mass airflow sensor. Clogged EGR valve. Bad spark plugs. Idle air control valve problem. Fuel delivery system problems. And even a malfunctioning transmission. If you don't know how to diagnose car problems, have a mechanic do it. He can do in a day what it will take you a year to do.
