Just a month ago, when I come to a stop light, it will stall.   Put fuel injector
cleaner in gas, cleaned throttle body and put new spark plugs-car still doing it-
what could be causing this problem?

Have someone check your harmonic balancer.... It works with the automatic transmission and controls the idle speed when the car comes to a stop.
