    Check for vacuum leaks.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I have seen a bad MAP sensor cause stalling issues when coming to a stop a few times. Try unplugging it and go for a test drive.

    spraying carb cleaner around the engine vac lines will help find a vac leak, if the idle jumps, you found the leak area.

    I already told you this guy, check for Vac leaks around the ends of all Vacuum lines while the car is on.

    If RPM's spike, you have yourself a vac leak.

    As you mentioned, you put in new vacuum lines already, you could of routed one wrong also.
