Engine shut off when car about to stop.

[SIZE=2][COLOR=Navy]Hi everyone,
please help if anybody had the same situation or may know why it happens. When I start driving in the morning and engine temp. almost reaching the normal working (middle of gauge) every time I approach intersection the engine stall. When temp is getting higher I don't have this problem.
ECU showed two codes, 0303 and 0103. I have read info from the maxima.org
(THANKS A LOT FOR THAT INFORMATION) and checked out resistance on Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor, it shows specified resistance but 'sender', which is right next to it shows about 120 Ohms higher resistance then it is shown in the Maxima manual. I am not sure is this coolant sensor or temp. sender can cause engine shut off. Sorry if explained it clumsy, not very fluent in English.
Thank you maxima guys in advance.

I had the same problem as you a few days ago. I thought the coolant temp sensor was good cauz I've tested its resistance for several times and it didnt
show any problem. But I had a chance to test it again when it stalled. That time it showed problem. I just changed the CTS. Seems it worked for me.
Good luck.
