Dirty/faulty idle air control valve and or dirty throttle plate can cause it to stall like this. How many miles and have you had the timing belt and water pump replaced?

My coolant light is on too..it's just a bad sensor along with the windshield washer fluid. Guess it's just a bad design or the float sinks and telling the sensor it's empty IDK

I am having the exact same problem with my car. At first I though it just needed to be warmed up. Now I'm having to sit with my foot on the gas and ease it off and wait for it to get warmer and its still dying when I go into first no matter how warm it is
