Default stalling

I have a major problem my 98 dakota keeps stalling out when im driving it. The check engine light isn't on and there no code. I have no idea what is going on. The truck runs fine and next thing you know the its stalls out when im at a red light on making a turn.

crank sensor or the coil... one of the two have gone bad. there is an outside chance the fuel pump is also dying but I'd check the fuel pressure 1st right after it stalls... if it's above 45psi... that's not it.

nope, the IAC valve only affects it when it's close to idle... from his description, sounds like it's stalling as he's driving.
