Has anyone encountered a problem with random stalling with their sonata?

Mine (automatic) stalls at times in the following ways :

One, the engine will die while driving and it will automatically kick back in while I'm coasting.

Two, it will die and I'll have to put it in neutral to start it up again while driving.

Worst case, it will die and I can't start it in neutral, have to pull over, turn off the car, then start it up.

It's driving me nuts! Note that I did recently put in a remote starter and it does seem oddly coincidental that this would start happening around the same time. The people who installed the starter have temporarily 'disabled' it while I troubleshoot this issue. It's still stalling. Keep in mind that the physical connections of the starter is still in place.

My mechanic scanned it and gets a "Speed signal at TCM" error code when it stalls. Cleared the code, same problem. Checked transmission fluid, it was overfull (apparently Sonata is sensitive to this), corrected fluid level... same problem.

My timing belt also needed to be replaced along with the tensioner... did that and guess what... same problem.

So I'm really stressed. I think our next step is to get the starter people to completely take the starter out to see if that changes anything.

We were also wondering if perhaps temperature of the engine has anything to do with this. The stalling does seem to happen more in cooler or wet/rainy conditions but I can't say that's the case 100% of the time.

Please give any info that you can. Much appreciated...
