My car does a simallar thing, It runs rich too, but when its cold it stalls when I hit the brakes, I replaced the plugs and it helped a little. I think I got a pinhole leak in the vac system. If anyones got any other ideas to help, I appreciate it.

IAC valve is gunked up ... try cleaning it ... or it may need replacement. Try adjusting the idle up more... see if it still stalls or not. If it still does then its your IAC valve. Its a valve that allows air in to controll idle speeds.
