    Try testing to see how functional your coolant temp sensor is, also the air intake sensor, worth a try, and would be a cheap fix., to me sounds like an environmental reaction, "temperature". Let me know how you make out!

    The first step is to identify what is missing when the engine stalls. Spark? Fuel? Both? Is there sufficient fuel pressure?
