It's most likely to be a fuel delivery problem. Perhaps you should check your idle speed?

It's not complicated, but if you're unsure I'd take it to a mechanic. It shouldn't take more than 10 mins and most small time mechanics will do it for free!

How old is the car? I had the same problem before. Check that you don't have an oil leak as it could be the oil pressure. I changed the spark plugs and even and the engine wired up to a Engine management system. It done my head in. Always riding the cluth to keep the revs up to stop it from cutting out. It was a nightmare! Get the oil checked first.
