That was the most common reason for that engine to stall, that would be the
first thing to do to try to eliminate the problem. If your car is stalling
just like that, then someone with a scan tool should be able to see what is
going on. You have so many post's in here and i dont remember if you said
you checked for any fault codes. And was there ever a scan tool connected.
