FIXED UPDATE: Thanks for your response. They really help a lot.
Turns out the fuel on the O2 sensors probably dried up the next day or
so (I think) that's what happen.. Now it idles fine To be honest, I was
absolutely stumped when it refuse to idle even when I give it gas. It
was a though a beast's breath was choked when it stalled. This
prompted me to ask the universe for help because I really can't afford
four O2 sensors, or better yet don't have the energy to replace these
rusted-in parts. I really believe in this new age thingy. Well, it paid off
