The car stalls all the time, when sitting at a stop light, on the freeway going 55 miles an hour. Stalls when turning, sitting, driving etc. Also, when driving, the car hesitates, almost like it's back firing? I have to put car in neutral when I am idling at lights, turning corners, anytime I take my foot off the gas. I have to keep the car idle up manually to keep car from stalling out. What could be the caused of this? It has been doing this for over a year but has gradually become worse over time.

If your check engine light is not on, then u have a faulty crankshaft position sensor, but if eng light is on get it read & post back with codes & I can better help u, because u can also have a fuel pump going bad too, so if possible get fuel pressure checked also. Good luck.
