I have changed the spark plugs, cam sensor, crank sensor, map sensor, both O2 sensors, egr valve. I have cleaned the throttle body and idle air control valve. But the car still dies at stops.

None of those things have anything to do with this problem. Most likely the battery was recently disconnected. If so, the engine computer has to relearn "minimum throttle" before it will know when it has to be in control of idle speed. To meet the conditions for the relearn to take place, drive at highway speed with the engine warmed up, then coast for at least seven seconds without touching the pedals.
