This might be an ignition problem. How does the coil look?
97 cirrus 2.5 stalling
so I pick up this cirrus drove fine first day . Next day in the morning I turned it on . About a minute went by and it shut it self off . Thought maybe it sat awhile before I bought it . So drove it to work and with in 25 minutes came to a light and it shut off at the light .started right up . Still doing the same thing . Replaced the alternator because it failed voltage regulator. Swapped the auto shut off relay . Cleaned the throttle body and cleaned the iac . No change . No codes no lights on dash . Any ideas ?

When you said that you cleaned the IAC, did you also thoroughly clean the housing where it resides?
Agreed, this is a good area to look. In fact, you might also check the wiring coming off the sensors, the alternator, and just about everywhere else, for frays. This can be time-consuming, so patience is required. I had a similar problem on a Dakota (hot stalling immediately after starting, but not while driving) that was caused by a frayed wire near the connector to the throttle position sensor. A butt splice fixed it.Is this the engine where the distributor wiring runs under the intake manifold? There were problems with those due to chaffed wiring.
