Car dies at idle.

Once in a while my car dies at Idle. If I keep my foot on the gas it will hold RPM. When I start it, it fires right up but if I don't give it gas it just dies. I have already changed the Cap, Rotor, Plugs, and Fuel Filter. Maybe a Fuel Pressure Reg? EGR? It's been doing this off and on for a couple of weeks. Also when the car is doing this and I come up to a stop sign, to keep the car running i have to shift into Neutral and give it gas. Help.

Check ignition timing, fuel pressure, maybe even do a compression test. It is probably something simple, most problems usually are. What is your idlle speed set at?

Once the engine is warm it will Idle at 500rpm.
