This just started happening on my trip home. The first stall happened when I slowed down around a turn my car completely shut off, however the electrical power was still there. After I started going again it worked fine then I slowed down at the light and the same thing happened. The next light it was ok and then the final time I slowed down to turn in my neighborhood the car shut off again. We took it to the dealer and they replaced the EGR valve but it didn't work. The car seems to stall most when it is warm after driving after a half an hour. It immediately shuts off, no clunking, sputtering, etc.
Can anyone help me out on this? Thank you.

Without seeing it I would take a guess: try this run in the driveway at say 1500 to 200 rpm and then take the foot off the gas it may stumble. If it does the look at plugs and a device called a distribution block if it is dirty your plugs don't get the full juice they should. The last thing to look at on this age of a car would be the MAF meter which is the Mass Air Flow Meter and it sits on the intake into the manifold just after the air filter. they get old and dirty. The very last thing would be the Throttle position sensor.
These should get you headed in the right direction
