Hey all ive done abit of a search and found a couple of reasons but i was wondering if anyone could help me anyways. My car is stalling everywere unless i have my foot on the throttle to keep the revs up.. So i am driving everywere with one foot on the throttle and the other braking when needed..

I had the exact same problem. After trying everything, found it to be the ECU. Replaced it and the problem was resolved for me. But did all the initial checks first. Thought it was a fuel pump ecu but did not turn out to be that either.

Good luck, I know how it feels.

Check the earth points and battery terminals, and it's normal for the charcoal canister to make noises when the engine stops

Yep, I agree with Darryn about the charcoal cannister - perfectly normal. :-)

Maybe the next check should be the Idle Air Control valve?

If you're feeling brave, check the ECU caps for signs of leakage, especially C507 on the top board
