We don't use the DIY section for this kind of question so I'll move this over to General Tech. You'll have more people see your post & try to help.

Does this happen any time you use the car? If it only happens sometimes, can you think of anything happening along with it? When it's extra hot outside? Raining? Anything?

Does the engine die when you get to normal operating coolant temperature?

Also, does the check engine light turn on while driving or does the D4 light start flashing? Have you checked for engine and transmission codes?

Default I maybe found solution

I think I just figured it out. The upper radiator hose was leaking and I had been wondering y there was no pressure in either top hose or bottom hose i think as soon as I replace the hose it should be good if not I will be back asking for everyone's help.

Just a leaking radiator hose is not going to make the car stall , not unless engine is out of coolant, is badly overheating to the point of stalling which at that point could have a blown head gasket ,,,I feel you got other issues there

Definitely not due to a hose. The lack of coolant only effects temperature not the engine running. It will run as long as it can until it over heats due to lack of coolant.

... unless the leaking hose is squirting antifreeze onto the distributor. Lets wait to see if a new hose improves things.
