Does the engine cut out very suddenly or do the revs drop back below idle speed then it dies?
Does it happen with the clutch in?
Could be Idle Control Valve?

I have exactly the same problem that drives me crazy. it doesn't happen often. It is very unsafe to drive car in that condition.
I've changed step motor (idle control valve), Engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT), spark plugs, fuel filter, cleaned throttle body (TB) nothing seems to be faulty.
There is couple more things to be checked as well: electric connectors, low pressure of fuel, fuel difference between injectors, map sensor ...
I hope she will find the "cure" for bad health car condition.
Tell us what is happenenig in the futere with the car.
Pozdrav iz Beograda.

Theres a pipe goes from the inlet manifold to the brake servo check its not got a leak, its a vacum for the brakes,quite a common problem, it can make it idle at like 3000rpm (if it does that aswell), might not be that but if it is, its an easy fix.
Hope that helps, Khyle.
