Hello I'm not sure if these 2 things are something related but when I drive my car even at slow city speeds it will all of a sudden die. When I am going 60 down the freeway I have to stay in the right lane as much as possible so that when my car die's I can pull over and start it again. No warning lights come on and stay on. The idiot lights turn on all at once then they go off right after. A friend of the family thinks that it may be due to fuel filter needing changed since the lights don't stay on. Also my auto headlights won't work anymore and I was wondering if that is due to a fuse or something. Can anyone help? Thanks.

have your fuel pressure checked as well as battery and charging system. alot of auto parts stores do this for free. you may be losing voltage due to a poor charging system or battery. Your headlight problem can be the switch, a module or the sensor on the dash may not be telling that it's dark out.
