do you have a check engine light? If so I'm betting air flow insufficient, This is cause by a vacuum hose that is either deteriated or has a hole. Run you hands over the vacuum hoses any of them that turns your hand black like playing with charcole replace them.
There is a process used by your local shops where they put a smoke machine to look for leaks.
That is the best place to start without changing the idle air control valve $$$$
Good Luck

Sounds like a fuel injector is clogged up or is not firing due to the computer not firing it. Check by putting a noid light on each injector and checking for pulse by viewing a blinking light from it. Also, one can check to see if a stethoscope can be used to listen for a clicking from the injector indicating it's at least pulsing that way.

2004 Hyundai Sante Fe running rough after fuel light came on, check engine light came on.

Someone will need to have the computer scanned for trouble codes to proceed with troubleshooting the problem.
As long as the check engine light is on some of the sensors and components may be bypassed.
Its possible you pumped some dirt or contamination from the bottom of the tank into the injectors.

My truck act like its not getting gas when i press the gas and then when i am stopped at a light it acts like it want to cut off until i put it in park. i need help on what it can be.

If your check engine light is not on, it could be your fuel filter. I would check this first. The fuel filter is easy to change and is cheap. Usually only costing a few bucks. It is located shortly after the fuel tank on the fuel line running the length of the steel frame.

Car stalls when stopped, cuts out when accelerating to HWY spds.

You could have a bad or intermittent fuel pump. Not a cheap thing to have.

An OBD 2 scanner can read fuel pressure on the drive to see if your fuel pressure drops off at odd times to confirm. It can also tell if there are transcient vacuum leaks at idle which the engines idle air control cant compensate for.

Do the plugs, wires and cap too.

1995 chevrolet monte carlo sounds like it is not getting gas

Is there a fuel cut-off switch in your trunk? if so the it should be a red button inside trunk on left side or driver side, You just push that in and it will start sending fuel again. If not then refer to manual to see if there is a Fuel Cut-off Installed and if not then disregard and sorry/happy I couldnt/could help!
