90 civic- sputters and stalls at low rpm

I am hoping someone can help me!!!
so i have a 1990 honda civic 1.5, hatchback

it starts fine, yet a soon as at warms up it begins to sputter then stall, if you keep it in the high rpms you can keep it going for a little bit longer ( but it screams!) and then it wont start when you go to start it again. and the engine light is NOT on.... we have already changed, the thermostat, fuel filter, fuel pump and main relay and we are out of ideas.....
can anyone please help, it would be greatly appreciated!!

did you try taking apart intake system parts and cleaning with carb spray? also check the cap and rotor, plugs, wires, etc.

If the problem only occurs after the engine is fully warmed up, then try unplugging the O2 sensor. If this makes the probelm go away, replace the sensor.
