Contact cleaner works well because it dries fast and leaves no residue also.

Contact cleaner will do the job.

Contact cleaner works fine, but make sure it's a type that's safe for use on plastics. You may need to wipe the wire with aq-tip to get it 100% clean. Be careful...

How is your ISR mod hooked up? Have you oiled your K&N recently? (yuck! 
)
Did you make any changes just before your stalling problem began?
