Stalling. My first inclination is to look for a fuel problem like low fuel pressure but there can be reasons a car would do this. Anyhow, you're basically looking at two reasons an engine will stop running. Either there's no fuel or no fire. In other words, either the engine isn't getting any gasoline (no fuel) or the spark plugs aren't firing. No gas could mean a bad fuel filter or pump. No fire... that's tougher. There could be many causes there. So anyway, that's it in a nut shell. Hope that helps.
