Overtime the diaphragm that's made of rubber or leather that's in the fuel pump ,it will dry out loosing its flexibility and will not pump fuel. When this happens your type of problem can emerge. This is a very likely problem as well as could be a stopped up fuel filter or dirty fuel. Install a fuel pump rebuild kit as well as a new filter making sure the fuel lines are in good shape. Don't forget checking or replacing the primer bulb with check valve . Changing all this will usually be less than $100.00 doing the work yourself.
Sounds to me you have a restriction in the fuel line somewhere. Check the fuel filter. Seems it's not getting enough gas.

Its possible it could be other things causing the problem, but seeing as you've checked most of the likely causes, it is most likely your Torque-Converter. The lockup clutch in your Stator-Fan located inside the Torque-Converter could be siezed, causing the car to stall.

Pour the fuel injection cleaner to it....sounds like the injectors are dirty.....

Common issue at the shop (i'm a ford technician), here is what I do to correct it.
Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls at stops and low erratic idle speed and rough idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve (IAC for short), they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
SOURCE: Vibration when in gear, and stalling.
The problem is the torque converter solenoid. I had it happen on my 94 Cavalier a few years back and was a cheap fix at the local car mechanic. What happens is the transmission warms up and hits a certain speed where the solenoid engages, but then it sticks and won't disengage until it cools down sufficiently. When it sticks, it causes the car to shake when slowing down and will snub out the engine if you come to a stop.

Did you let it warm up?
