When I come to a complete stop my car just shuts off, I am able to start it again, but I have to be able to give it the gas or it will keep shutting down. I have noticed it does it more when I turn on the radio.
Do you know what it could be?

I had that problem when I worked on my car and didn't plug in the connector for IACV and Coolant Temp Sensor fully back in. My car would stall when idling and radiator fans would kick in when car is cold. After two weeks of replacing parts I finally checked the connector and plugged it in. I still feel like an idiot, and now thoroughly check all my connections when I work on cars.

P.S.: the connector is behind the Intake manifold.
