2k Stalls at idle with AC

I'd search to see if this has been dealt with, but I can't.

I have a 2000 Maxima Automatic. It has been having a problem with stalling. It happens when I slow to turn, stop at a light and is especially bad when I have the AC on. The car is idling at about 700 RPM, then that starts to drop below 500 in about 1-2 seconds, then it stalls.

I spent $500 last summer to have this fixed. First, they cleaned out my injectors. This seemed to help, but after a week it was happening again. Then the mechanic replaced the TPS and air flow sensors. (I was noticing a real power problem as well and couldn't get to higher RPM) This seemed to fix the problem. Now, I'm right back where I started and I'm wondering if it might be something completely different.

I noticed there was a TSB from March 2000 for the ECM - Stall/Idle in Gear. Anyone else have to fix this? Did they replace the ECM or reprogram??

Anyone else have this problem, or any insight?

Thanks,
Matt
