More then likely this is a vacuum leak. So let's start with this guide that will help check for a leak.

This is also a guide that will help with stalling at idle as there could be some other causes:

The other likely cause of this is a fuel issue so we also need to check the pressure when this happens so we can make sure the pressure is not dropping and then it stalls.

Let's run through this info and we can go from there. Thanks
