When the car stalls, are the electonics in the car (radio, hvac fan, etc) still on, or do they shut off also?

If its just the engine shutting off, I would recommend disconnecting the MAF sensor, and driving around with it off, to see if that might be the cause somehow.

If everything dies, check the connections on the alternator.
Loosen them, retighten them, and add some die-electric grease to protect them.

BC.
