I've owned my car for only a couple months, and in that time, it has stalled twice. The circumstances had some similarities, the first time, I was on the freeway, saw an opening, nailed it, then boom!, stall out. I coasted the car down an off ramp, put it in park, then fired it right up. Drove the rest of the way home no problems, but tryied to take it a little easy, this was a while back, today I made a full throttle pass from about 40 to 70, drove a couple miles more, pulled from a stop sign, got rolling a little, than nailed it, boom! stall out again. I pulled into a subdivision, stopped, put it in park, fired right up again, drove home no problems. Today I was low a gas, I don't remember about the first time, everything else seems to be fine. Does this sound familar to anyone? I may go ahead and put a fuel filter in it for good measure.

after your hard acceleration, are you foot off the pedal?
Could be part of your tune also
IAC - idle air controller (could be going bad, or is dirty)
just some thoughts

mine has stalled but it was during a right turn at low rpms. this was prior to my tune. These cars have a low idle and seems to be a problem when turning at low to no throttle. I have also noticed my car likes to kinda hesitate when i give it little gas. Just put a K & N on her and this seems to have minimized this problem.

Sounds like it might be the wiring harness issue with
the fire wall and bell housing area..i would have to look
it up!
could be a weak fuel pump only guessing though.?

Any reason you wouldn't try and put it in neutral and restart? Seems like rolling to a stop, and putting in park could be more hazardous to your health/saftey. I too have had the low idle right hand turn and stall...(sounds like a square dance)....pop into neutral restart...yee haw....all kinds of powersteering help!!!!
Just a thought.:)

As with this post check all ground wires, altenator connection.
and battery connection. loose or corroded connections
have been known to cause stalling issues.It does sound
intermittent and in that case I would go with bad connections.
or possible short(no fuses blown) bad connections top the list.

Clean your MAF and IAC with MAF cleaner.
