Is there any pattern to when it stalls? Is it a complete stall while in motion? On the freeway? At stop lights? -- This could be so many things more information would help narrow it down.

we had a customer come in 3 months ago that spent over 1100.00 on replacing all sensors, and coil packs. his did the exact same thing it would die at any giving time.

he brought the car to use and we hooked up a fuel gauge and drove the car for 4 days before it finnaly died on us but it was the fuel pump shutting off. we replaced the fuel pump and problem was solved.
