These codes have nothing it do with the car stalling it sounds more like the crankshaft angle sensor is going bad which will not set a code. Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job and the location of the sensor so you can replace it to see what happens changes are the transmission codes will go away once the engine running correctly.
