You don't say you cleaned the idle control valve - that can get sticky around idle position and not respond quickly enough to avoid a stall. Removing it and soaking in alcohol usually works well. Best to pre-purchase the rubber holder and hoses since they harden to fragility over time. Also clean the airflow meter flap and throat to prevent sticking.
