MasterStalling is dangerous because once the engine stops running the brake booster looses vacuum and the power steering pump stops generating pressure until the engine restarts.
What causes the cutting out needs to be investigated. The possibilities are plentiful, the engine should have an idle control controlled by the vehicle's computer. The idle control system could have a problem, your engine could have a vacuum leak, if the engine runs a little rough a cylinder may nit be contributing causing the engine to stall. Diagnostic tests are required its foolish for me to speculate being unable to do basic tests.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1 -

I bought mine at autozone for 40, and it stopped the problem. it was an easy at home fix as well!!
