Thursday I was driving home and i was on the highway and it just stalled. I started it with 15 seconds and it started up, and i continued figuring it was just a bug or somthing and it did it again and again. I got off an exit to go back into the city and made it to a gas station figuring maybe it was out of gas and my guage was broke, even though not symptoms of no gas. I put gas in it and i took off. I was going up a big hill and it stalled again, I pulled into a resturant and i left it there overnight. I drove it home the next day with no issues (30 miles) and changed the fuel filter which was quite plugged. I let it run for 10 minutes only to have it stall again. I tried to start it and it wouldnt fire. I shut it off and wait a few seconds and tired again and it fired up and idled for 30 minutes just fine. So the question is, what is doing this? I think the oxygen sensor is bad and the PCV valve is bad or the hose is plugged. Does anyone have any ideas?

When you say it wouldn't fire do you mean the starter is not cranking at all, or it is cranking but engine won't start.
It could be intermittent electrical problem of your alternator, or the Safety switch in the transmission is intermittently bad.
