My van stalls when I go out to start it and its idling then it will stall and if I am at a stop sign I have to keep my foot on the gas and break or it will stall?

Hi:
First, it the check engine light on? If not, I need you to check for a couple things. First, check for vacuum leaks. Look and listen for hissing sounds, damaged or disconnected hoses, dryrotted hoses...

If no luck, check the fuel pressure. Many parts stores will lend or rent the gauge to check it. If you don't know how to do it, review the following video.

Let me know what you find.
