My best guess would be your CPS.

I agree CPS also.Since you're questioning it , you might as well change your fuel filter too.

CPS should be -drivers side,where the bell housing meets the firewall.

Mate it sound like the crank angle sensor not an expensive part & will fix the problem
other than that I would say check your fuel. Did it stop while you were breaking? does it start after it sits for awhile then stall?
Cheers Kent

I have a 2000 55 also and it stalled just once. I waited two minutes, drove home, and had the sensor out that very night. I got one from EBAY and it took about two days to arrive. Getting the small bolt started is very hard on install. I used a three foot extension and got it from the brake booster. If you put rags on the firewall insulation it will save your hands too. Pain in the (_G*(*&T to get at though.
