Default uh...help?

Guys,my car would just die out everytime i come near to a complete stop.What's wrong with it?I just had it tuned,changed its oil and spark plugs,but then,the same problem still occurs.Someone I know mentioned that it's because the computer's pre-setting isn't injecting enough fuel into the engine to mix well with the added air intake and electricity coming from the new plugs.Tuning the ECU is out of the question since my car has an obd2 setting.Any suggestion would be GREATLY appreciated.thanks a lot!

i don't necessarily have to apply the brakes for the motor to stall;it occurs everytime my foot is off the accelerator for about 3-5 seconds at low speeds,around 20-40km/h.also just observed that it mostly happens during the first 5-15 minutes of driving.is there any other possible culprit to my car's stalling?i'll be checking my car for leaks now.
