Engine Lopes Can't Post

When I come to a stop sign or a stoplight, my engine rpm's drop, and my engine lopes. I have to apply the brake and press the gas pedal to keep it going. Otherwise it will die. I have replaced the spark plugs with NGK and am trying to find another idle air valve to replace it. Other than maybe replacing the distr cap and rotor bug, what else can I do?

If it runs fine other than at idle then it's more likely a vacuum leak or idle speed motor problem than ignition parts,
