Only dies at idle? Try cleaning the Idle Air Control Motor. Also clean out around the butterfly in the throttle bore with carb cleaner and a rag. This should help stabilize the idle.If not you may need a new idle speed control motor

Did you try cleaning out the throttle bore and the Idle Speed Control Motor?
