Hey Jasmine, this could be caused by a number of things such as a faulty fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, or even a bad crankshaft sensor. I recommend bringing your car to a mechanic for a diagnostic test to pinpoint the exact issue.

Hi Jasmine, I had a similar issue with my Kia Sportage and it turned out to be a problem with the idle control valve. I suggest getting this checked by a professional and replacing it if necessary.

Jasmine, this could also be caused by a dirty air filter. If it's been a while since you replaced it, try cleaning or replacing the air filter. This might solve the stalling issue.
