I guess the first thing you should do is have the battery tested out. Make sure that the cable connections at the battery are clean and tight. If the connections are corroded really bad, you might have to install new ends. Once you know that the battery is good and the engine starts, check to see if the charging system is operational.
The battery may not be the cause of your problem, but it will cause a problem with trying to figure out why the engine doesn't want to start if the battery or starting system is raising heck.
Once you know that the battery, connections, and charging system is good, you can figure out the stalling and no start problem if it is still there.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
