My car is hesitant while im driving. It will go as long as I dont have to stop. Once I come to a stop or slow down it stalls out on me. If its sitting for a while, it will start right up and is running normal until 5 minutes later. Then it goes right back to hesitating and stalling out.

Id go and have a shop check what the temp is reading at the ECM when the car is stalling. If the ECM reads a different temp than what the engine actually is it will lean out the fuel causing a problem like yours
