The DISA flap shouldn't cause any stalling, but the idle control valve is another possibility. I'd say the cam position sensor is much more common for this issue. (if it hasn't already been changed that is)
Both cam sensors (I think there are two) have been replaced before.

I'll have to go back thru all of my receipts and see if I have ever replaced the idle control valve.

I checked for codes at lunch today and didn't have any.
