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
