stalling

The BAS-ASR lamps will come on when there is low voltage, they will come on and stay on at start-up if your battery is weak until your alternator raise the voltage then they will go off. Do you have a good battery?
The ignition wires will cause rough idle when getting old without check engine light, how old are they?
Crankshaft positioner sensor will leave you stranded at a stop when the engine is warm and the car won't re-start till it cools down if you are lucky.
How about the fuel filter? When was it change last?
An EGR valve that remains open will cause the engine to idle rough, die at idle, and loose power at full throttle smoothness. the valve usually fails to close due to dirt or damage in the valve seat area.
Check for vacuum leaks, the hoses will crack and leak with less miles than that.The cannister purge vacuum hose have the tendency of coming off at the valve, also the MAS sensor gaskets become crushed on the bottom side with age and they allow air to come in below the sensor.
