Definitely try cleaning the throttle body. I had a stalling problem with my 2k 5 speed. A little different circumstance from yours, but after getting rid of the k&n and cleaning the throttle body, I haven't had a problem since.

My 2k was doing the same thing. Cleaning tb and running injector cleaner cleared it up.

I used generic tb cleaner from autozone. Cleaning the tb is a pretty manual process. You want to get in there with a towel and clean everything you can get to. The edges of the tb plate will probably have a heavy carbon build up. I think that is what causes the stalling because it disrupts the airflow when the plate is mostly shut. Don't forget to change or clean your air filter too.

As far as injector cleaner goes, I used a bottle of the techron. It seemed to help. Lots of people have been suggesting the BG44 stuff. I was going to try it next time.
