When I come to a stop, it constantly stalls, but will start right up. When I am driving it seems to sputter.

Good morning,

Here are a few guides that will help with this issue as I suspect we have an issue with fuel pressure.

If the fuel pressure checks out then here are some more general guides that will cover this issue.

If it does, it could be the crank sensor signal dropping out at idle and while moving.

I attached a picture of the location of the sensor for you.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
