Dying at idle is almost always a clogged Intake Air Control valve. That's the greenish-grey contraption that sits on the bottom of the throttle body that has two coolant hoses and one vacuum hose running to it. It would be good to take it off (remove the entire throttle body) and give it a good cleaning. Focus on the valve that opens and closes. Note that it will require a new gasket and the 4 screws on it are prone to stripping so use your best set of screwdrivers and apply pressure. The check and cleaning will only cost you a couple of bucks for a gasket.

You don't have to drain the coolant either. Disconnect the throttle body off the plenum and then lay a towel under it. Remove the hoses one at a time and prop them up so they don't spill. It's the highest point of the coolant system so it won't flow out. You can do this after checking your plugs, which I'm assuming will look completely fine.
