DFI unit or the coils can cause the stalling as will a dieing ECU.

Didn't vote as you missed the VN

clean out your throttle body first.

could be a sign of your CAS about to go as that was what mine was doing. Do the fault code test ans see what code it comes up with.

Assuming that the rest of the engine tune is OK, like spark plugs, leads, I would agree that the throttle body +/or Idle Air Control Motor may be dirty and sticking.

Less likely is an engine mechanical fault, like a burnt exhaust valve or leaking inlet manifold seal.

I had just had this problem fixed , if it only does it when warmed up then get your CAS replaced. I have learnt the hard way , dont get water or oil anywhere in or near the sensor as it will kill it slowly.

My CAS and fuel pump died at the same time , so try CAS and then change fuel filter.If that dont help then go onto spark plugs , plugs , injector cleaner , air filter , clean throttle body ( IAC, TPS )

Also get your fuel pressure checked ...

Thats what Ive done..
