Virgins don't work on fuel injected vehicles...
Did you check the fluids? Engine oil, coolant? The stuff that you said was splattered around under the hood, was it fresh? Like still dripping? I say if you identify that fluid, you'll be MUCH closer to finding the culprit causing the stalling.
Usually, this situation is caused by the torque converter clutch solenoid sticking in the "on" position. On some vehicles this solenoid can be deactivated which will effectively solve the problem but will prevent the clutch from locking when it's supposed to, such as at highway speeds.
See if you can find a mechanic who can disconnect that solenoid to see if it does, in fact, fix the problem.
The fluid you saw splattered under the hood is NOT a symptom of this solenoid failing, so all this stuff I said may be entirely useless.
Good luck.
