My car drives fine for a short while then will start to idle rough and sometimes will stall. I haven't changed the O2 sensors since I bought the car. Would that lead to stalling issues? I recently put in new spark plugs and wires thinking that would help. It gave a better preformance but the stalling was still there. When it stalls I can restart the car immediately. Any help would be appreciated.

This MIGHT answer your problem. I have read a few topics like yours here regarding rough idle to stalling and most of the answer goes to the Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve located on the very top right of the engine.
