Good morning,
Is the engine idle correct or is it high or low?
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/stall-at-idle
Can you give it some gas and it will idle?
I need as much information as you can give to us.
Can you upload a video of it stalling?
There is an idle air control that could be causing it to stall as well as the throttle body being dirty.

Not at this time. I cannot see it, touch it or diagnose it.
I need your input to help you determine the issue.
Again, can you upload a video of it when it stalls?
