Have your battery and alternator tested at your local auto parts store. This is a classic symptom of a failing charging system that is unable to provide enough power to maintain a spark when the alternator is only turning at idle speed.

Happened to me too. Have the solution
Dear Maximus_95
I had the same problem about a year ago.
I replaced the fuel pump, cleaned all the valves, etc..
Spent about a 1000 dollars for nothing.. the problem
kept coming back.
It was the temperature sensor: a 15 dollar part !The
sensor was telling the engine it was running at minus
forty (-40) degrees. then it kept sending more and
more fuel, flooding it, then causing the stall / engine stop.

Cool. I spent 3 years in Sao Paulo. Moved to Rio de Janeiro 2 years ago. I was born in Panama City, Panama.
The cool thing about Brazil, is that the Nissan Maxima they sell here is
actually the i30 with Maxima logos in the rear
