This sounds like potentially a faulty idle air control module. This is a unit that regulates the flow of air into the engine. When this is faulty, it will result in an imbalanced air/fuel mixture which will cause the erratic idle as you describe. I would recommend having a certified expert, like one from YourMechanic, come to your home to diagnose your stalling issue firsthand and make the necessary repairs to your car.
