Default stall while idle


hello,
My 96 avenger 2.0 liter 4 cylinder been stalling out while idle. its ok if i give it a little gas.
temperature doesnt seem to matter. runs fine when sitting at 1000 rpms + but as soon as it dips it drops to 0 rmp and shuts off. i have to keep tapping the accelerator or it dies
So far ive changed the air filter and cleaned the fuel injectiors and currently have some dry gas in the tank.

Any suggestions as to what to check next?

thanks in advance

I'm kinda curious about that too. Lately mine idles rough when I come to a stop. Mine usually idles around 750rpm. I know I really need to change my plugs and wires because that hasn't been done since I bought the car. I'm thinking that is my problem. Could possibly be yours too, not sure. Mines the DOHC v6. Let me know if you find something out.

Plugs, wires, possibly an iac.
