Could be your idle rpm screw stop. When I put a Modern Performance 60mm TB on my car, after a few years the screw stop broke off and the car wouldnt hold idle. It would just die because the butterfly plate was essentially fully closed when off the gas.

When I did my rebuild, I forgot to plug my SAFC-II back in... that basically disabled my MAP... anyhow, my car did the same thing. It would run, but wouldn't idle. It would also die if I let off the gas and pushed in the clutch while driving. I would just give your MAP a quick spot check. Make sure it is plugged up, and/or not bad.
