Does CEL come on?? Change fuel filter, when was the last tune up? Check & clean connections to Idle Air Control Valve, Idle Speed Actuator, Idle stop Solenoid, Mass Air Flow Sensor. Have you looked at this site: http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker (Autozone.com-repair info-troubleshooting - engine compartment- engine stalls-engine idling) will give you a list of possiblities.
