Stalls at stop lights 850 1996

Update: Being only half-retarded, i decided to check the haynes myself and noticed something aptly called "idle air control valve" and thought, this might be it. Not fully knowing what it would do if its broken, i looked it up. I found that many people have experienced my troubles if theirs went, and i found two possible solutions for this. A) Replace (new for 240, used for 40) or B) clean and see what happens. I went with B first, so I was going to take it off and clean it. I struggle with those spring clips (why they don't use those screw clamps puzzle me) and finally get it off. The inside of it is black. I blast it with brake cleaner a few times and find that the insides are actually not black... Could it be that my IAC had become so dirty that it would stick on ocassion, thus causing the car to stall and die out? Put it back in, and it appeared to run fine, but i only drove it about 5 minutes.

With regards to the MAF, wouldn't that being dirty only kill emissions? I'm going to drive the car tomorrow cause i'd prefer sunlight if it breaks down...

Also, assuming this is my problem, would it explain the car not starting for 10-20 seconds after it stalled out?
