Reason: correct text
randomevo, et al...I'm going to say it's your MAP sensor....
Identical problems for me, sudden onset of symptoms, car shutting off when idling, pulling into driveways etc., even on the highways when foot off the gas, etc, etc...no codes, running like crap, can't get it started unless foot on the gas/floor, flooded symptoms, etc, etc. Checked everything you've already checked, chasing a ghost it seemed like, until...
I took off the MAP to inspect it, not much to see other than testing it. But before I went that route, the o-ring seemed to be a bit brittle and loose, so went to Ace Hardware and picked up a couple, one the right size and one a gauge larger. Well, if you haven't already anticipated, I tried the larger gauge and ended up busting one of the mounting tabs off. Now I had to spend the $90 or so whether it was faulty or not!
Solution:
After replacing the sensor, the car went back to normal. I hope this solves the issue for you as well!

This sounds like IAC to me. They usually don't just quit, they suffer a lingering death. But if the car bogs while driving at steady speed I'd suspect the O2 sensor.
Car bogging at steady speed is also symptomatic of a failing MAP sensor. It's really tough to pinpoint these driveability issues sometimes that I have resorted to keeping extra sensors/IACV on hand just in case.
