The stalling can be caused by several root causes, so you'll need to diagnose before replacing any parts.

When the car won't restart, does the starter crank the engine? This would be a crank/no-start. If the starter does nothing, this would be a no-crank/no-start.

Is the check engine light turning on while driving? Scan and post any codes on here with the code number. They start with the letter P and have four numbers, like P1234. If you don't own a scanner/code reader, stop by a parts store and they can scan for codes as a free service.

When the engine is running, try shaking the key in the ignition. Does the car stall out?
