Mine had the exact same problem. It would die or come close to it in Drive with the brake on. In Park it would idle roughly but would not die. I tried the plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, O2 sensor, air filter too. It ended up being the fuel filter. An inexpensive part but hard to reach to remove/install. I never thought the fuel filter would make that big of a difference but it did.

I just decided to replace my fuel filter(137,000miles on original) last week. I just didnt have a chance till today to get on alldatapro and check where the fuel pressure release is. Gonna prolly do it tonight, or tomorrow when I get back from Mazda with my new keys(current ones worn out bad).

i just solved this problem on a ford.
its probably more or less likely the idle air controll solonoid (sp?)
look up in the shop manual how to clean it.
also clean your TB and intake track.

I had already completly cleaned the intake system and I seriously doubt that its my IAC. The other thing I was going to look into beside the fuel system was a alternator wear out, unfotunitly I havnt been able to check the charging system yet to see if that is the case.

Had this problem on a 1993 manual and actually debated the notion of it being low voltage... picked out an alternator off a protege and bolted it up and it has worked fine since! it only cost me like 20 bucks US (thank god for pull-a-part)
Just food for thought.
