This is why you should alwys have a shop manual when attempting to
work on your car.

See part#9? That's your IAC. You don't remove the throttle body
or its bolts to clean it, and chances of you actually needing to
clean the IAC are slim.

Is the engine cold, warming up, or hot when it stalls?
Does it stall when coming up to lights, or when already stopped?
How long will it idle until it stalls?
What speed is it idling at before it stalls?
How old are the plugs and plug wires?
