Is the car stopping because it overheats? Or just shuts off?

If your saying the vehicle stall on you, does it stall at stop signs and red lights? Or does it stall going down the highway? When it stalls, does it restart quickly or do you have to wait a bit? When it stalls did you check the basics, proper fuel pressure--spark at the plugs--fuel injector pulse? Any applicable trouble codes? When replacing sensors, I want to check wiring circuits, first. What testing have you done?

It stalls anywhere it's like if I drive it a little distance it stalls but it starts right back up but it keep stalling and I'm about ready to just sell it for anything it even stops on the freeway basically it stops at a drop of a dime wherever I'm at and anyywhere and the test that been ran on it says everything is good but if so then y do it keep stalling

Yeah, if everything is ok when testing is done, then the testing won't show anything. Just another thought, with everything off, unplug your maf sensor. Then start the vehicle and take it for a spin, if it does better need to check maf system. Do you loose electricals, momentarily, when it stalls? At the moment, I can't think of anything else?
