Low rpms, Stalling

I'm having issues where the rpm's are going way below one and the car stalls. Sometimes I might be going 40-45 and if I hold the clutch too long the car will stall.
If the AC is on, it never stalls. Any ideas?

Haha everyone seems to be having this problem. But yeah, IACV check the stickies for more detailed info and then go out and buy some brake cleaner or something (I can't remember) and clean that sucker out. You'll be good to go.

Yeah, clean throttle body, check and adjust for accurate base idle (ie. throttle pos. sensor disconnected). Check all rubber hoses connected to the intake manifold to make sure you do not have a vacuum leak. In my experience, just cleaning the iacv doesn't do a whole lot.

IACV= ignition air control valve? if yes then is it easy to clean that part on 2k1 max or do we just replace it and what about TPS does that throw any code when goes bad?
