sounds like you could have a vacuum leak.

I had this problem at one point. The first two things we checked were the MAF, and the gaskets. I think i ended up having a blown gasket ( i don't remember which one) and it would cause the engine to stall whenever i took my foot off the gas. Check that out, if it's just a gasket it should be a relatively cheap fix.

+1 for MAFS... try unplugging it.. cleaning it up and such.

and second.. did you put an aftermarket intake on? .. if so.. it's possible one of the hoses popped off causing the car to die. that happend to me.. just had to reclamp it and all was well.

definitely check the MAFS tho

1. check your maf2. check your spark plugs, it might foul out.

fuel filter would also cause that. I would change that first since it is so cheap and easy to do.
