Fuel filter? Does it run smooth? What RPM does it idle at?

Does it restart quickly?
Do the dash alarms light up...ABS, seatbelt?
Are the battery connections tight?

My 97 stalls sometimes too. I found it is a problem in the ignition switch. Next time it stalls see if any of your dummy lights are lite. If they all are out just like it would be when you turn the key off it could be your problem as well. With mine I have found if I turn it off and back the lights come back and it will start. Now when the dummy lights are not coming on then it will just crank all day and not start. I have been dealing with it all winter just trying to get as much time out of it as possible. Dealer told me it is a common failure of the ignition module.

The dealer I talked to thought it would be around $300 put in for a new ignition.

Here's a thread on ignition switch replacement but it needs pictures.
