Default Issue: 98 civic dx dies when let off gas

Car: 1998 honda civic dx manual

Issue:

-when you turn the car on the idle drops really low to the point where the motor shakes the whole car and sometimes it will just die.

-other times the idle will drop really low when the car is turned on then catch right before it dies and make its way to a normal idle.

- My main issue right now is while driving around once you take your foot off the gas (ie. stop sign or traffic signal) the car dies. every time.

It has been throwing codes off and on...

first set of codes it threw were:
P0172- fuel trim too rich bank1
P0301-Cylinder 1 Misfire
P0302- Cylinder 2 Misfire
P0300- Random/Multiple Misfire
P0170- Fuel Trim Malfunction

After i pulled those codes i replaced the distributor Cap and Rotor Button as well as all spark plugs.

When the CEL came back on i pulled it again and it was only throwing the p0172 and P0170.

I put in some Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner just incase its that but other than doing that im at a loss... its doing the same exact thing.

Help haha its my gf's car and i can only let her drive the em1 around so often lol
