Stalling at idle could be due to a faulty mass airflow sensor, faulty camshaft or crankshaft position sensors, worn spark plugs, wires or defective ignition coil(s), inadequate fuel delivery or pressure (clogged fuel filter, injectors, faulty fuel pump or pump circuit), contaminated or old gasoline, defective throttle position sensor, faulty idle air control valve, leaks in the EGR system, intake vacuum leaks, and so forth. Based on what you have specifically described the issue is probably "limited" and thus should be fairly easy to resolve. If you request an engine stalling diagnostic the responding certified mechanic will get this resolved for you promptly.
