    i'm not sure, but when it stalls its fast and all i have to do is pull over and start it up again, or it almost stalls and i press the gas to kick the idle back up.

    Maybe the fuel pump is going out,they can sometime work and not work before they die.

    If you haven't changed the fuel filter already, that would be an inexpensive & easy place to start. It may or may not be the problem, but if it hasn't been replaced, it's probably due.

    Clean your battery terminals and posts with a wire brush too. Same as above. If it hasnt been done, and you live in a salty area as well, just peace of mind. Had a similar issue in a different vehicle. Just hope its that easy!!!

    It sounds more like an electrical issue to me.There was a problem with wiring harness wearing through and causing problems.Do a search and you should find something or someone that remembers will chime in. The fact that it stalls when hitting a hard bump would have nothing to do with the fuel pump or filter or the switch. The mode switch caused hard shifts not stalling. When it stalls does everything shut off or just the motor? Could also be a loose connection . Check all + / - connections at the motor. Check the plugs to the computer. Hope this helps. shawn
