The car will stall when the car engine is warm and it is not moving. This means when I would be stopped in drive or be in neutral.It will not stall while driving. I know it is not the fuel pump for that is working properly. I already changed the computer when the check engine light was on, gas filter and the idle speed. The computer does not have any error codes for I had that also checked.

    Sounds like you could have a problem with an unmetered air leak - like a vacuum leak or similar. Have your air intake system checked, check all hoses and lines. The idle air control valve could have an issue too.
