When does it stall, while cruising or only when slowing down or stopped?
Are you able to restart easily?
Does dash indicator lights comes on immediately when engine stalled?

Typically it stalls when slowing down or stopped at a stop light. Although it has turned off while accelerating before, but thats less common. Restarting is usually not very hard if I give it a little gas. No lights come on the whole entire car shuts off.

This usually indicates poor idling and the most common cause is a dirty throttle body and IAC. Have them cleaned and retest.
