Vaccum leaks....make sure all plugs/wires are good...EGR at times has been known to be suspect...no codes from the computer or anything?

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.
