My 07 was doing that about 6 months ago and it had a couple of bad coil packs. Replaced all of them and the spark plugs and did a fuel system cleaning and all was well. I had about 80k at the time. But you really need to have them check the codes to see what comes up. Certainly stalling could be a number of different things ...

Yeah! why...!...? It really is a half dozen possible reasons for the stall issues. I replaced all 6 plugs and ignition coils, gaskets required etc. Mine started skipping/missing after a LoJack was removed by buy-here lot owner. After investigating thoroughly, I determined that the issue wasn't related, but the gremlin rendered the car undrivable and terrible to get started. Would lose power under load, and had the MIL, trac off, and Slip lights on. Has improved alot since ignition components replaced. Still hard to start, A/C disabled, and idle issues. (High "2,400rpmish" 75% power) but drivable now. Belive me when I tell you that 200,000k is way to much for OEM plugs and coils. Replace them if able. Contact if unwilling to undertake project, but want replaced. Anyways, love the car, design, healthy DOHC V-6, and 6spd trans. Am looking forward to assigning DD status to my 3.5SE, just need to finish sorting out remaining drivability problems and state emissions requirements. The CPS I aquired from NAPA isn't exactly the magic bullet I hoped for. In fact, hard starts were not an issue till replacement. The ECU was revealing that there was an anomaly with CPS, certain that it isn't the source of my problems, I have determined that nobody can conclude exactly what causes the undesired behavior in these Datsuns. Some say speed sensor, Crank/Cam sensorz, or Coils. Others insist that it's common, however unable to be concise about source or reason. So. When I have concrete evidence of an epic part failure, I will forward the knowledge. Good luck.
