Sounds like the un loader in the pressure washer pump or the plates are going bad,that will cause the pump to build up to much pressure and make the engine stall.Try running the engine with out the water turned on just hook up the water line to the pump as usual and turn it off.Just make sure you don't run the pump hot as it is running you can turn on some water to cool off the pump but not full blast.
