None of those lights having anything to do with stalling or fuel filter or fuel pump.
As for the ABS, etc, this is likely due to the wheel speed sensors not reporting properly. While one or more of them could be bad (wheel hub replacement), these circuits are notorious for poor connections, corrosion, or bad wiring due to age.
The wheels speed sensors can be tested before replacing. Start with getting the ABS codes scanned. This will tell you which sensors are having problems.
Before any of this, you should look at the other engine codes and address the stalling, etc first. Scanning the engine and looking at air flow, fuel trim, etc will guide you to the next step. Have you changed the air filter recently?

2002 Oldsmobile Alero Brake Lights spuratically stay on and kill my battery

sounds like an electrical problem in your steering collumn, alot of times all of your brake lights and turn signal lights go through your hazard light switch, so if there is a short in the wiring somewhere in your steering column before it branches off to the different lights, it will cause this to happen, iv seen it happen on mutliple vehicals, never on your particular vehical but that may be the root of your problem

Car stalling

How old is the air filter? Replace if dirty. Did you adjust spark plugs to correct gap when installed?

Check sensors, particually maf sensor, may need replacing or cleaning. Maf sensor is located on the intake pipe from the air filter. Can buy the cleaner on eBay, 'maf cleaner'. The maf sensor measures air flow telling the injection how much fuel to use.

Also if there is a crank or flywheel sensor, check it's ok.

2003 ford sporttrac runs rough when stop at a red light sometimes even stalls do i need to get fuel filter changed and is this expensive

hi.
if it was a fuel filter problem, i would expect far more problems when you are under power, as the demand for fuel is much higher.

problems at low revs suggest a small vacuum leak.
check all of the vacuum pipes coming from the engine inlet manifold, especially where they go to the brake servo unit.
check they are not damaged, and are securely fitted at both ends.

My vehical service soon, anti-lock, and trac off light all came on at once the other day but when Im driving my car nothing seems to be wrong with it I drive a 2002 oldsmobile alero what coulld be the...

sounds like your ABS sensor is bad. The ABS sensor controls the trac. control. but it wouldnt effect daily driving. you would only notice it if you slamed on the brakes on a slick surface. the brakes will lock up like they ARE NOT supposed to.

1999 Alero stalling and trac off light coming on

does the rpm motor kick down? you may need to check your vacuum hoses, and also you may want to check your exaust, sounds wierd but that can cause the car to stall at times.as for the traction light, your hitting the brakes to hard. try slowing down a little slower while stopping, and keep distance for saftey.. if you can take it a little slower at lights and turns, without braking hard and it stops stalling.
