i am having the same problem...i think i have figured mine out tho. it seams like my o2 sensor is messed up causing it to run rich. check the o2 sensor wire and see if it is exposed and could have touched a ground. this could have caused it to burn out the signal to the ecu....and now the computer can not detect that there is to much fuel in the exhaust. to start the car back up when it stalls, just hold down on the gas pedal and crank till it starts...this will allow air to get into the motor and evap. the gas.

how is the idol on the car when it runs???

well try and check that out and let me know i can try and help some more after that.

good luck
