car stalls at idle Sign In

On a 1997 mazda millenia 2.3l super charge ha ha. Any way the car stalls in idle after about 30 sec. Or so. Starts right back up every time. I was told egr valve idle air control or mass air flow sensor. Any ideas
Jesus is good.

 You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try eliminating any vacuum leaks and cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
