Engine randomly stalls out while driving need some help here

I have a 97 3.8 camaro and recently it's been stalling out on me while driving ive checked the terminal cables and even replaced the battery and alternator as well as the spark plug wires and spark plugs along with all the fuses and relays and also replaced the air filter and I've also cleaned the maf sensor as well. I changed the fuel filter not to long ago Too. Here's the kicker though, I recently got a clutch/flywheel replacement done at this shop and they lost my keys which was okay cause they got my some new keys with the chip and all. My and tonight it stalled out on me twice and I have one chipped key and one with out that can still start the car, so I tried turning her over but wouldn't go, I used the other key and it started right up and vice versa with the second stall, what's going on with my car guys????

At any point have you scanned it for codes?

Yeah it isn't throwing anything up which is what I find weird it had the SES on for a bit but that went away after I replaced the alternator

Check for a cracked ignition coil. I had similar symptoms and that was the problem. Mine would go weeks without stalling and didn't always cause a engine light.
