On some automatic tranny's as they get older, the torque converter doesn't 'disengage' properly. It has a similar effect to not completely releasing the clutch on a manual tranny. Which can cause poor idling and/or stalling if it gets bad enough.
But that's only one possiblity. Try putting in some fuel injector cleaner next time you refuel. See if that makes a difference. If that doesn't help, try changing the transmission oil.
