Why did my car stall?

Started it up and it was idleing rough. it would start to stall out but it wouldn't and then it eventually did stall out. but i could start it back up. then it would do the same thing. there was a burning antifreeze type of odor and the engine didn't sound normal. the belt pullys were louder than normal too.

probably has a vacuum leak causing the idle issue.
have the cooling system checked for a leak. dont let the coolant get low and overheat the motor.
