Well, I finally gave up on my stalling at idle problem and took it to my indy. Codes revealed that it was the Mass Air Flow Sensor. Replaced it, ($$$), and the stall is gone. What's more, I replaced the two O2 sensors and my check engine light is off. The d!ckhead who replaced sensor #2 used a generic sensor with butt splices and must have been doing it in the dark because the wrong-colour wires were spliced together!
Anyway, passed the emissions test on the first time. Took it in and the guy said it'd failed three previous times, so the previous owner never got it right but lied about it.
Thanks for all your help on this issue, guys. Turned out not to be the intake manifold leak after all.
Cheers,
Phil
