If you look under the hood where the vacuum tubes go into the firewall , you'll see one is yellow in color .
Gently disconnect it and cap off the vacuum side , if the engine once again stops quickly , the Central Locking is at fault , plan to replace all the vacuum chambers & rubber 'T's to return it to AS-NEW again .
A Mity-Vac tool is cheap and easy to use to test & diagnose the vacuum system .
Or , simply gently grasp & tug the various rubber hoses here & there _ONE_AT_A_TIME_ , replacing any that come apart with out a fight as they're dead of old age .
Your car is just testing the waters to see how much you love it .
