What could be the reason why my rpm's are dropping low at idle and stalling?

I cleaned out the EGR and that helped a lot. I also replaced the IACV which brought it up to 100%. EGR was a pain in the ***, but the IACV is easy and I picked one up from ebay for $35 or so.
Also, I am not sure if it was related, but the engine mounts were worn and I replaced those. If they are too worn, the engine may shake too much and cause funky readings and misfires.

I would clean the throttle body first. Watch Scotty Kilmer's YouTube video "How to fix a car that idles poorly". If it is a 4 cylinder they rarely have EGR problems, but if it is a 6 cylinder they have big problems with the EGR. I would look there next if it is a 6 cylinder engine.
