When you come to stop it feels like it wants to stall. But when I park turning wheel it stalls, starts right up again

Do you have a check engine light or has flashed?

Possible if the intake manifold is leaking-will have a vacuum leak. Did you have the IACV and TPS tested?

Could also be the computer not commanding the IACV to increase idle during additional engine load-
