stalling

I have a 92 with 102,000 miles. It has had an intermittant stalling problem when I come to a stop and the rpms drop below 1000. I need to rev the engine to keep it from stalling. I had the MAF filter cleaned and it didn't stall for several months. Then, the throttle body and IAC were cleaned. A connection for a small hose had also come off, so the mechanic epoxied it back on in order to save me a couple hundred in replacing the entire part. After a month, the engine is stalling again. They said there are no vacuum leaks. Any ideas? Thanks

By the way, I'm currently car shopping, so if anyone is interested in adding to their collection. The car is teal with gray interior and touring package. I have all the records including the Port documents. glc530@juno.com

Check your MAF against a known good MAF?

If you will advise exactly what "they" stuck together, you can expect some worthwhile comments. At this point things do not add up and "they" could very well be your real problem.

I'm not sure what the part is called, but the MAF filter is attached to it. There was a small connection that had come loose from the body of whatever this part is. A small hose attaches to it. Since this connection could not be pushed back in, the guy said he could attach it with epoxy. As I said it is the assembly that the MAF filter is attached to. Since I am not keeping the car, the shop is trying to rememedy the problem inexpensively before I have to spend money on parts. Both the MAF and this vacuum or air intake(whatever the thing is called) both cost over $200. I don't know if this will help you to know what part I'm referring to.
