Default stalling

ok so i finally got my plate and insurance and the car wouldnt start i fiqured cuase when i was doing stuff to it at night i would just have turn the key to listen to the radio while doing it and never fully started it so the battery was dead annd so i hooked it up to my ram with jumper cables and let it charge and it turned over after a little hessitation and so i took the cables off and it idled fine and then stalled and i repeated that like 5 times and it kept stalling so idk if its just that it hasnt been run in like 3 months and its bad gas or what but i put new gas in there and im hoping if it is bad gas it will just burn out, o also when its idling if i go to push the accelerator at all it stalls

any help would be appreciated

look for cracks in the glass insulator of the plug. maybe you have a dead cylinder.

yeah good point, you think thers a chance it could just be the gas? thats what this one kid said but then i was like i put more new gas in the tank than there was the old stuff so i assumed it would mix and have fixed itself out
