Is it stalling every time you push the gas? Or just sometimes? Does it matter how much gas you give it?
I have had a couple of these cars. In my experience, a very dirty air filter can cause it to stall. Also, so can a clogged PCV valve. So if you have not replaced those in a while, go ahead and do them. The air filter might cost you $10.00 and the PCV maybe $5.00.

Not one of our guides, but still a decent guide.
