Default 04 SS Stalling!! HELP!

I'm driving an 04 SS 3.8L. In the past I used to have an issue where the car would stall when it is raining it wet out. Now my car is stalling just about every time I drive it! No check engine lights.

My battery has been replaced, flushed the dex cool and cleaned it out, changed thermometer. Egnition switch has been replaced. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?? I'll be driving and randomly the battery light comes in, steering wheel locks up, and than I have to wait about 2 minutes until it will crank on again. It feels like it drives fine, but that happens. Only odd issue is the oil gauge will go from below the half point, and shoot to 3/4 line when my foot is on the gas. This was only recently though, and the car has been stalling before that.

Any ideas?? I was thinking maybe the alternator is not pulling enough V, but I am not sure. It has been stalling for two years, but within the last two months it is worse than ever. Almost every time I ride!

So when it stalls, the engine won't even crank for about 2 minutes?

@JuniorCar Correct! Maybe once and while it will crank right back on, but most of the time I have to wait a couple of minutes. During that time it keeps clicking and get the burping sound like it does not want to turn over
