My daughters car stalled the other night. They jumped the car and she made it home but it would start to stall anytime she was not accelerating. We replaced the battery. It started, but would stall as soon as the accelerator released. We replaced the alternator and the serpentine belt but the problem remains the same. It will start but will stall as soon as the accelerator is released.

look for vacuum leaks. check the throttle body for carbon build up. the idle control motor may have failed as well.
