Default My EJ has Breathing Problems?

Car: 1994 Honda Civic D15

Hello All, thanks for checking this post and hopefully posting something that can help me out, My car at start (cold start) breaths and idles right at 1.5k rpms and feels good but after 15 mins or so of driving, when you hit a stop sign or red light the car idles like at REALLY low rpms, it feels like it will die out and (the steering wheel), it shakes a lot, if I pop it in neutral, and keep it at 1k rpms it feels normal and the steering wheel stops shaking. I got told to change the idle air control valve and I did but I’m still experiencing this.. what would you recommend I do next? Throttle body or put back the normal air intake? Thanks once again.

Do you have the stock air intake on or a aftermarket intake?

Do you have the IAT sensor (Intake Air Temperature) installed into the intake pipe ?
