Fixed my stalling car

A few days ago, there were a number of people talking about how their engine would cut out on them, including me. Well, after a day of driving and watching the rpms, I noticed that my car only stalled when I came to a stop and the rpms dropped below 600. So temporarily, I increase the idle to about 700, which seems to have fixed the problem. Then I decided to clean out the throttle body, clean the MAF and screen, and after doing so, the idle went up to about 800 rpms. I then brought it back down to 700 and things have been running well since then. My throttle body, MAF and screen hadn't been cleaned since early spring, and it wasn't really dirty (not like the first time I cleaned it) but I guess they were dirty enough.
