Car starts fine, but when I go to shift into reverse or drive and the car stalls. Car also stalls after stopping. Fuel filter, fuel pump are new. Battery starter and alternator are all working properly.

Try cleaning throttle plate on both sides and IAC hole with choke cleaner they get gummy and can cause that.

Idle air control, it is in the throttle body normally cleaning what I said will take care of stalling when coming to a stop.
