SOURCE: Car stalls out while running

It sounds like it's not getting enough fuel to the engine if it stalls when you let up off the gas pedal but stays running with your foot on the gas it sounds like you need a new fuel pump and or fuel filter for the car.I can almost garantee thats part of the problem

SOURCE: car idles rough and stalls

Have you ever changed the fuel filter? If it's not that, and it's not a vacuum leak, it is probably your idle air control valve.

SOURCE: throttle/Idle/running problem - wants to run too fast, or stall out

yes he is correct also check for any vacum leaks into the intake this will cause the o2 sensors to tell the obc (computer) to compensate for the extra air entering the system and cause the engine to lean the fuel out that will cause a obd2 code saying the o2 sensor needs to be replaced when it is only a vacum leak

Astro van problem

If the engine RPM drops and does not recover, its usually a faulty idle air control valve. Can you keep your foot on the gas and keep it running when you come to a stop ? Is the check engine light on ?

Car wont stay on without foot on gas

Suspect idle air control valve. Also clean the throttle body. If its gummed up dirty it will restrict air.

Car stalls at stop signs

will it re-start right back up?
next time try to keep your foot on the gas pedal to see if it stay running ( be careful when you do this, if you give too much gas the car will over come the brake and cause accident )
if it stay running then you need to replace an idle air control valve
