Hello..My names Christa..I have a 2000 tundra

I have a 2000 tundra and everytime i stop it dies?

 

Could be 1000 things. Start with making sure all vaccum hoses and sensor connectors are correct and seated, then a full tuneup, plugs, air filter, clean MAF, PCV valve, and a good dose of fuel injector cleaner. Any Check engine lights?

 

Does it idle normally? Has the battery been replaced recently?

Sometimes when the battery is replaced or disconnected, the computer will forget how to idle properly and have to re-learn. You do this by just letting it idle in park for a half an hour or so. Sometimes you have to hold the gas pedal down a little at first just to keep it running.

 

Start with the air filter, maybe it's just not getting enough air through at idle.

 

Do you have a check engine light on? As others have said, it can be a lot of different things. Need more information to help diagnose.

 

Maybe clean the throttle body? It’ll take minutes.

Like others mentioned, it could be a handful of things. My suggestion is the first that came to mind?
