3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2011

My 2002 Xterra engine stalls when at idle speed, it starts back but will stall almost everytime I stop at a light,stop sign or in traffic. Engine light does not come on and there is no codes. I spoke to a Nissan dealership and when I asked them about a recall on the 2004 model for this problem that has to do with the ipdm relay, they said that is probably what is wrong with mine. The dealership also said ther is an ongoing campaine for this issue with the 2002 modle. I have already had it in the shop for this problem had sparkplugs,distributor,plug wires,fuel filter ,maf sensor and the throtle body replaced $1300. 00 later I still have the same problem.
