Default Stalling

I just did tune up. Cap, rotor, plugs, wires, cleaned and re oiled my air filter and now it's intermitently stalling at idle. I am new to computer controled cars. Where should I look to resolve this Thanks

clean the IAC, adjust the TPS and what about your fuel filter?

if this just started after you did plugs & wires and all that, recheck what you did. you probably crossed a few wires.

IAC is the cylinder on the throttle body, gets dirty over time and creates a stumbling idle and stalling issues, TPS is also on the throttle body and should be checked with a digital voltimeter to make sure its set between .9 and 1.0 volts at idle
