It can be a multitude of things.Like the egr valve is blocked up with carbon,IAC (idle air control) on tbi is dirty or sticking,map sensor is bad (on the firewall).I would suggest getting a obd1 scanner and check for codes at the port for it driver side towards the fuse box(or take it to auto zone or advance auto for a free scan).I can list tons of why but,is your ride automatic or manual?This matters because if auto the TCC solenoid could be bad and cause the car to stall in drive,reverse or coming to a stop.In short part has to replaced and Transmission Fluid changed to correct this.In short more details like engine 2.0 ohv and transmission (auto or manual) help narrow down things.I have owned my 85 cav 14yrs and KNOW these cars so isolating the problem is not that hard most of the time.

In short -- it can be any of a number of things -- have a mechanic check it out.
