Sounds like the idle air control solenoid is either sticking or is bad. It will let the motor die when at a stop very easily. You need to have the ecu scanned for a code to verify this first before doing anything else. I have even had a situation where a bad tank of gas also caused this, a fill-up cured it right away. Hope any of this helps you.
