The engine stalls when vehicle is stopped for example at a light. Has been getting hard to restart, once it's running engine is fine.

May be an issue with the idle speed controller.Try removing it and cleaning it with carb cleaner.if the check engine lightis on, have the PCM scanned for codes, this will most likely lead to the cause of the problem. Also check for any vacuum leaks, they can cause hard starting and idle issues
