that happens to me sometimes.

my problem was that when i took a long slide, with all the gas sloshing in the tank, the pump has a hard time trying to scavenge and collect fuel to send to the injectors. i realized what it was that my pump was holding enough pressure to send fuel during normal driving, but sliding made the car lose pressure suddenly and it would stall my motor (this is the KA i used to have).

when i put my SR in, i changed my pump as well as all my hoses. now that i slide it doesnt do that, maybe because i got a new pump as well as new fuel hoses. check to make sure ur system is holding the correct pressure. that would be my advice. good luck!
