Hello. If your car is stalling and it stops spraying fuel then most of the time this is caused by a failure in the crank position sensor. This is a common issue on this vehicle. When it fails the computer does not open the injectors. It can also be a failure in the circuit so that would have to be looked at also. I usually check the computer for codes first to see if anything comes up.
