96 Dodge pick up stalls at low RPMs. Replaced PCV, IAC & TPS and it still stalls. Before I replace the MAP ($100) anything else to check?

If it stays running if you hold the gas pedal down a little, the battery was probably disconnected or run dead recently. The Engine Computer will have to relearn "minimum throttle" before it will know when it has to be in control of idle speed. To meet the conditions for that to take place, drive at highway speed with the engine warmed up, then coast for at least seven seconds without touching the brake or gas pedals.
