The next time it stalls, check for spark. Could be an ignition module or cioil dying after the car gets warmed up.

well i drove the car till it stalled again and it does it after the car warms up so after it stalled i checked for spark and there was none , the coil is frairly new so do you think it would be the icm? or is there anything elese that would cause this problem ?

Aside from the coil, ICM, or pickup coil...no. There are exceptions but that usually means bad wiring. I would suspect a bad ICM.
