i think that engines stall because of the lack of fuel. pretend the engine was on idle, it is using a small amount of fuel and that fuel is going though a cavity that directs the fuel to the cylinder. when you suddenly increase the throttle, there is more air making the fuel burn faster. but for a split second, the same amount of fuel is moving through the cavity. the engine quickly burns that fuel up and for a little bit there is no fuel, until the flow of fuel catches up. but sometimes the amount of time that there is little or no fuel is too long and the engine dies.
