Do the following service it should help the stall out.

Engine stalling and rough run issue at low speeds

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control

SOURCE: 96 Blazer stalls when hot on hotest days

I had a similar problem on my 95 jimmy. It was something that took a lot of time and money to diagnose, but now 3 years later...no proplems. Emissions requires the truck to have an EGR valve (exhaust gas recycle) and this deposits gunk (carbon residue) on your MAF (mass air flow sensor) If you catch it in time you can use a carbon cleaner from Autozone or checker Lightly on the MassAirFlow sensor. If not in time you may have to have either the MAF or EGR valve replaced and these are expensive. After a long period of time being undetected eventually the EGR valve will start smelling like sulfer, this means its to late to clean and save!

Hope this helps

Start by cleaning your throttle body.  May need an Idle Air Control valve.

SOURCE: Engine stalls while driving and sometimes while idling.

The stalling problem could be caused by a faulty mass airflow sensor. That is the PO100 code. The other code is for the engine coolant temperature sensor. Go to the autozone website at autozone .com and register your vehicle. It's free and you will have access to an online repair manual. The procedures for testing the MAF sensor is outlined there. Hope this helps and you find a resolution to your problem. Best wishes.

SOURCE: when i turn on my heat my 2004 trailblazer stalls

if this happens while the defrost of ac is turned on, it could be a seized ac compressor which will cause the serpentine belt to squeal and drag making the engine sometimes stall. if it happens with the ac off and the selector on say the floor, or dash vents, the issue could be a bad alternator and battery. this is confirmed when the blower motor engages and the lights dim and then the truck goes dead.

My 93 Chevy Suburban k1500 stalls when going through puddles and will not start back up right away. It turns over very.slow after it stalls.

Sounds like exposed wiring possibly on the ignition coil or alternater simillar issues happen when weather pack connectors on vital sensors leak causing the sensors to malfuntion most likely exposed wires though since its not getting solid power to the starter after the stall

My 1991 aerostar van died while i was driving it and now it will not start

My 89 all wheel drive Aerostar will do that too if I forget to put that liquid stuff in that round thingy.

But seriously how was it acting before it stopped running ? Was it sputtering and hesitating ? Had you driven thru any deep water puddles that could have splashed water onto the engine ? You did not mention if the motor turns over when you try to start it , in other words is the battery charged? So if you are sure you have plenty of gas and the engine is nice and dry, the engine turns over when you turn the key - but doesn't start - I would check to see what could have come loose in the engine compartment such as a wire or an obstruction like a plastic bag over the air intake.

Good luck !

When i turn left my 89 jeep stalls

Check the bolts on your fuel pump, make sure they're tight. Might also check ALL of the rubber pieces in your fuel line( and there are quite a few) for cracks.

I hit a puddle and now my truck won't run

Use a heat gun to dry off all ignition components. If that doesn't do it, start looking into a partially "Hydro Locked" Engine.

1989 chevy celebrity stalling

seems to be like you might have a transmission problem possible with the lock up solenoid system,
try to pull codes and see if you get any codes from the car with a scan tool,
some transmission codes will not turn the light on.
