Default Throttle cleaning....What about my idle stall?

Oakley: I'll clean the throttle tomorrow.

Can anyone shed some light on why now (after the DASC) I'm having stalling problems at idle? When coming to a stop as I take the car out of gear and let the clutch, the RPM's will fall to about 200 rpm (or so) and briefly/barely struggle before the car dies.

If I can get the car to idle, it will usually keep itself there, but I have to feather the throttle to get it to idle. Otherwise, it may or may not stay alive.

Anyone?
