More details needed. Dies while idling. So you're driving, coming to a stop and it dies?

How clean is the throttle body and IAC motor? Start there. (use only throttle body specific cleaner).
Good battery voltage?
Good plugs?
Spark plug wire age?
Fuel filter?

Lots of variables here and super tough to point in the right direction with very limited info. Start with that stuff and report back.
