Does this MY have an Idle Air Controller (IAC)? Sounds like the IAC is not supply enough idle air to keep the motor running when the throttle body butter fly valve is closed.

Disconnect the electrical connector to the IAC. The motor should die or the RPM's drop. Or if there is absolutely no change in symptom with the IAC disconnected, suspect an IAC problem. They fail often enough that the possibility should not be ignored.
