Q; Is your service engine lamp on? This vehical has a power steering pressure switch,witch helps your engine maintane idle at parking lot monuvers. its next to your power steering pump.you can check if it works by starting your engine and let it warm up. then without tuching your gas pedal turn your steering wheel slowly , the engine should maintane its idle. if this works and your service eng. soon is not on then try cleaning your throttle plate. A dirty throttle is alot of stalling causes with all vehicals.

Chevroleete caviler - car wants to stall or does stall when idling after warmed up - not always. When in drive at idle speeds once in a while cars revs will jump up to 2.5 - then have to restart

Did you clean the idle air control motor, when you cleaned the throttle. Also check for vacuum leaks. The PCM controls the IAC motor. If it to dirty it can stick. Can cause a surge and stall.

When turn on the heat/AC, the car stall immediately

This is normally caused by your cars idle up. The idle up engages when you turn on the AC and that will add few RPM for your engine to prevent your engine from stalling. A replacement is needed to fix the problem. You may also check for the vacuum routing sticker on your hood. If you have a vacuum routing sticker on your hood, refer to that. The hose from the IAC valve routes to the Idle Up switch (as you know) the other hose from the idle up switch routes to the passenger end of the intake plenum, right on the end of it toward the firewall side. Don't confuse rubber heat shield on hose for hose size.

Engins starts but idles high for about 2-3 sec. then stalls out

Sounds like the choke needs to be turned down slightly and the idle turned up?

2004 Envoy xl stalls when making turns

this is caused by slow engine idle speed, do the procedure below.
Here is the common cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
