I bet that it's a vacuum leak at the brake booster. Stalling at stops is an indication bc you are stepping on the brakes and the brake booster diaphram is leaking. I'm going through this right now. I'm just happy that I finally found my big vacuum leak problem.
How do the brakes feel? If it starts to feel like you are losing any power assist, e.g., if you can't stomp on the brakes and lock them up, then this is your problem. For me, it finally got to the point that I really had to step hard on the brakes for them to work, but I think that it started well before that with the previous owner. And he did what you are doing, he cranked up the idle speed (of course he never told me).
Good luck,
