change the filter. if that doesn't cure the intermittent stall then try to recreate it and diagnose it from there. It could be anything. improper set up on the fuel pump. kinked line inside the pump.

I cant tell until I put a fuel pressure guage on it and the like. Their are other reasons like a bad multifunction unit near the ECU or it could be the ECU itself is fried. Lots of reasons. Need to diagnose.
