Throttle body is a good place to start. I like to take mine completely off and clean the main chamber with carb/intake cleaner very well. You'll notice a fairly large hole starting on one side of the butterfly valve and ending on the other. Clean it out as best you can. Stuff a piece of cloth down it and get 'er clean. Be careful not to get any chemicals on the TPS (the electrical part you'll unplug when removing the t-body). Stick the spray straw down all the little holes and blast 'em out.

It's probably time to replace the fuel filter as well. Not quite as easy of a job as cleaning the t-body, but doable. How about a little more info on the runner. How long have you owned it and what have you done as far as maintenance goes?

You're going to have to give us a little more info then that.

When is it stalling? What does it do when it stalls? How often, things of that nature. Have you had any repair work done to it since you bought it?

Stalling usually means your engine is starving for air or gas. Could possibly be a vacuum leak. Or could be as simple as a bad idle adjustment.
