Default Strange Stalling

I have a 2001 Disco with 75k miles. Occasionally it stalls for some unknown reason. I cleaned throttle body, Cleaned MAF, I changed Crank Shaft Position Sensor. I don't know what else to do. It's so unpredictable when it happens but usually after accelerating and coming to a stop is when it cuts off. Any tips?

When was it last tuned and do you have any fault codes, if so what are the fault code numbers?

No fault codes. I've never had a tune up but have only put 5k miles on it since I bnought from Land Rover dealer. You think a tune up could fix?

If no codes and after giving her gas then coming to a stop you might want to look at the easy things first:
A bottle or two of good fuel injector/fuel system cleaner
Check to make sure air filter isn't filthy or air intake clogged up

Also...be sure to check all your vacuum lines and the idle air controller too.

Maybe take it back to Land Rover and see if they might offer to look at it for free since it's fairly new to you from them?

According to his above question (what do you mean by ignition wires?), it might be good to take it to an independent mechanic if Land Rover does not offer to help for free.
