First, check the air filter and make sure it's not clogged. A dirty air filter can cause the engine to stall. Also, inspect the spark plugs and replace them if necessary.

Another common cause of engine stalling is a faulty mass air flow sensor. It's responsible for measuring the air entering the engine, and if it's malfunctioning, it can cause stalling. Consider getting it checked and replaced if needed.

Make sure to check the fuel pump and fuel filter as well. A clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel pump can also lead to stalling. If needed, have a mechanic do a fuel pressure test to determine if these components need to be replaced.
