What Jeff is encountering is engine stalling and it could be a fault with the idle control system.

Cleaning the throttle body and IAC would solve most of the time.

Engine failure can be due to many factors. And if a particular make is occurring more than others, it could be a technical fault whereby there might be some TSB on the problem.

Without an insection of the damaged, engine, it is not possible to determine the cause so I am not able to comment.

Without opening up the engine to access the damage, it is impossible to comment on the cause of the problem.
