98 mazda protege, 80,000,1.5L

This car idles rough, and once it was switched to "D" or "R" from "P", it stalls. I have to adjust the idle speed to about 1200, but it still stalls at stops.
Even in parking, it sometimes fluctuates and stalls.
I feel so terrified when the car stopped in the middle of the road. please help me to find the solution.
Thanks.

Check your EGR probably its cracked open and shouldn't be at base idle.
