i take its a gasoline model ?.. check engine light on ?

If check engine light is on , have someone read the code on it , sensors will show up here , although often it's a mis communication / reading from one of the sensors which don't always show up as a code in the ecm , in other words more likely then not your fuel/air ratio is getting screwed up , which mean that eitehr a part of the fuel injection system is clogged or the MAF sensor isn't reading accurately making the ECM adjust the injection timing wrong and creating a wrong air/fuel mixture.

Lucas injection cleaner is great , and it's the least expensive of the options , you can also take the maf sensor and clean it , over time the sensor get's dirty and won't read correct.the reason you see it stalling is because at a low RPM the fuel/air ratio is much more critical to keep the engine running , at higher RPMs the flywheel and the rotating masss will keep the engine going even if the ratio is off
