Every time I use a new key my car stalls out. Turns over fine and runs ok until I stop at a light. Don't have the problem if i use the original key. Don't have the key chain loaded with other keys either. WTF? This ever happen to you?
I got new car keys made at the hardware store

If not a smart key, I can't see how the key could possibly make any difference. All the key is doing is allowing the cylinder to turn inside the ignition switch. Once it's in the on position it's in the on position if there's a fault in the ignition switch that same fault would exist regardless of which key brought it to that position.
Follow?
It's often useful whenever one is troubleshooting any problem to look at a time ine and determine what has recently changed because sometimes there is a relevant correlation between a recent change and a newly occurring fault. On the other hand though there's nothing to suggest that that's not just a coincidence and you're noticing this stalling out when it happens to have the key in it is nothing but a coincidence.

What I would do is when it stalls leave the key in the position that it's in so that it's still on and then go troubleshoot. does it have fuel? Does it have juice to the coil? Does it have juice through the coil?
It's probably just as likely that you picked up some water in the tank from the gas station on the way home from the hardware store.

How would an alternator cause stalling? Alternator fault could cause it to not produce a full charge but I don't see how that's going to cause it to stall until the battery level gets low.
What about muffler bearings? Do you think they might be a little too restrictive?

It might not be a 'smart' key but it could have a code in the fob or plastic.
If your original key is close by, say in your pocket, that could be near enough to activate the duplicate. If you leave the original at home - that's when you could have problems.

That's what I meant by smart key. Any key that's requires programming. If it's just a simple metal duplicate key and it starts the car (without the presence of the old key nearby) then there's no chip.
The ones that use RFID technology usually have to be pretty close to the actual ignition for it to work.
The ones that have a battery in it so that it is actually broadcasting a signal have more range

Don't mind that one. He's always hunting for "alts." Quixotic, to say the least.
