FIRST OFF STOP SHOUTING! there thats better :D on your vehicle the secondary air pump is located on the rhd side of the engine, you need to remove the plastic engine surround where it is around the battery and coolant expansion bottle, now if you look down the gap between the engine and the coolant bottle its down there! :lol: its a large round thing with a motor fitted on it! :o thats the best discription i can give you!

although I cant see why they have told you its thats, thats possibly the cause of you problems as it only runs when the engines cold! it sole purpose is to decrease the time it takes to bring the cat up to operating temp, it does this by injecting air after the exhaust valves and causeing an after burner effect in the exhaust raising the exhaust gas temp

I agree that the secondary air pump has nothing to do with the stalling.

Suggestions:

 

Idle Control Valve (can be cleaned)

Connectors or wiring (check carefully)

I agree with Charles. Check those first.
