This could be a couple things but we need to start with making sure the battery that you have is not faulty. Here is a guide that will help with this:

However, if the battery checks out then we need to start with this guide and see what turns up as it will help with this issue:

Lastly we need to check the idle air control valve as they can get stuck closed and it basically cuts the air off when the engine is idling. Here is a guide that will help clean this which should solve it if that is the issue:

Let us know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks
