Check the TCC module on the transmission. There should be a 4 wire plug going into the transmission next to the lower right side of the engine. Unplug wire and drive, if car doens't stall any more, replace the TCC module. Sometimes a sticking TCC will lock the torque converter into in over drive, causing the car to stall at lower engine rpms. :)
