Default Help Car Dying

I have a 95 dodge neon SOHC with about 187k miles on it. When I purchased the car it had a check engine light and needed new fuel injectors. I changed those and the car started to die whenever I would stop. After that I did some research and changed the parts that might of been causing the problem, I ended up putting on a new fuel pump, fuel injectors, air filter, fuel filter, and a new idle control valve. It still idled really low and the car stopped dying but I got a check engine light, P1294. or a low idle speed. The car still wasn't dying but I decided to try cleaning the throttle body with some throttle body cleaner today and I got a lot of the dirt out, but after about 3 hours I went to go drive it and it started to die at almost every stop. I have no idea what to do or what to change, it doesn't have a mass airflow sensor or any vacuum leaks as I also sprayed carb cleaner on all the vacuum lines I could find. Anyone got any suggestions of what may be wrong or has had this problem before and fixed it. Any tips are appreciated, and if you can explain in dumb terms please im not the best with car terminology lol.

Update, changed the spark plugs and numbers 2-4 were black and all rusted and cleaned the throttle body a lot better. Now it either dies at every turn or it will run at a very low idle.
