It happened to me three times in my car. Once when it was stock and twice when it was pullied. I never got it figured though because it only happened a couple of times. I just never took the car out of gear when coming to a stop after that and it never happened again.
I had a 2.76, Steeda CAI, and a tune from Speed Inc.

something similar happened to my car when it was stock. id be slowing down shift to neautral and be braking, the check engine light would come on and the car would die. once i was stopped i could start it right up again, light went away no problems. happened to me twice a couple years ago but that was it. i thought i heard of this being a somewhat common problem and the ecu just had to be reflashed or something but it didnt happen to me enough that i needed to take it in.
How's it idle? Do you have an XCal or Predator to log voltage and other parameters?
What kind of air filter setup do you have? Is it securely fastened to the MAF?
I have the stock tune, with an SCT Chip from when the car was pullied with other mods.
I am running a K&N FIPK. It seems like everything is pretty secure on it.
At idle, sitting in neutral at a dead stop, RPM's are around 500-600ish. The engine will make vibrations and it feels like the idle is very rough.

Might need the tune tweaked.
Off the top of my head, I think my car idles around 750-800. Could be something throttle position or tune based. Some datalogs sent to the person that tuned it might shed some light. Any trouble codes in the ECU?
+1, dealers could flash the new program, if I remember correctly the new ones that corrected this issue where AMZ1 or AMZ2, can't remember, but Sutton should be able to help you out.
There was a stall issue, Ford has a fix for it but if you have a tune in your car you won't want to have Ford reflash it for you.
Are you running a larger lower pulley? That could cause you alternator to fail if you aren't running a larger alt pulley. If your battery recently went out that could have put added stress on it as well.
A vaccum leak
Some Ported Throttle Bodies
Dirty MAF
Tune
There are a lot of issues that can cause the car to stall like that unfortunately.

I have not checked the MAF, but I will look at it tonight. I keep the engine and most of the more important components very clean.
The tune is stock, no upgraded pullies whatsoever. I will have someone at least check it out and see what's going on.
Well CNR makes some cleaner designed specially for MAFs, a lot of aftermarket air filters are pre oiled mroe than they need to be and can cause isses with the maf. The S&B filter I had on mine had way to much oil on it
