Could be the ignition. Mine would stall when stopped, and sometimes when I made a left hand turn

Stalling or rough idling on occasion could be an early indication that your alternator is headed south. Checking your spark plugs and wires would be good idea as well. When's the last time your fuel filter was replaced?

Literally just went through something similar and diagnosed that the MAF was toast. I did check EVERYTHING before getting to the MAF. Spark plugs, wires, vacuum lines, cleaned the MAF, etc. Good luck hope you're able to find the issue soon!
