Hi princesscianni,

If the speed sensor is a new unit, check the wire connections. It could also be faulty out of the box.

The engine stalling could be due to a few possibilities.

1. Idling speed too low due to dirty throttle body or IAC.
2. Engine not in good running condition, such as bad spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. Valve clearance too tight, bad head gaskets.
3. Bad compressor
