The DPFE had nothing to do with your stalling in the first place. It may have put the check engine light on but didn't effect the way it ran.
If this is stalling atr idle when coming to a stop and starts right back up, you may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.

Don't forget to clean the throttle body too.

we will clean the throttle body but someone was saying it could be the Mass Air Flow what do you think.

I think you should clean the throttle body and IAC as I suggested and don't look any further until you have done that.
