I got my Suzuki Reno as a 'good deal' from a friend. It has ended up being a bad decision all around. This car likes to randomly stall whether I am just sitting in idle or actually driving it around in the city. After this was happening I stopped and had AutoZone run codes off my car. They gave me the codes and I went to a mechanic looking for someone to replace my throttle body positioning sensor (because I was told this was the biggest issue). I did so, yet my car still likes to die spontaneously. It may just be me, but when it gets warmer out, my car tends to have a higher percentage of dying.

Yes, with warmer weather you can assume the electrical system is getting hot which can be tough to find which is probably why the person sold it. This guide can help as well

fortunately I have seen this problem before and it was the main relay that caused it, here is the location so you can swap it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
