sounds stupid but have you checked the air filter? sounds like it is getting starved of either gas or fuel. plugs still good?

yah check all air supply locations, throttle body, CAI connenctions, yes plugs could be it, one could bad. could be alot of things if its not throwing codes

Just like everyone else said, start with the basics, air/ fuel.

personally id say fuel filter or air filter. they will flow enough to idle, put when u demand more by pressing the throttle, one of them is not supplying enough to meet your demands, and it stalls. try taking the air filter out and see if it fixes it. if not, i wouldreplace thefuel filter.
