If it stalls when you drive then hit the brakes, and then restarts, it could be the TCC (torque converter clutch) solenoid. If it sticks closed, the clutch will remain engaged when coming to a stop and will stall the engine. Could also be a faulty EGR valve. Both are fairly easy fixes...get a Haynes manual, they'll walk you right through em.
