I had a similar problem once and it turned out to be the Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor. Over time/miles it gets gummed up. When they fail they send bad data to the ECU, which in turn gives an improper fuel/air mixture ratio.

My car wouldn't idle at all, I had to keep my foot on the gas to keep it running. Not easy when trying to park or move short distances at slow speed.
