Engine stalls while driving. It starts fine, runs smoothly and with no indication of fault will stall while driving, usually at low rpm. Unable to cause it to stall. Sometimes it can idle for minutes at a time and no stall. Same goes for driving. Can drive for several minutes at various speeds, etc. Then it will just die. The first time it stalled the check engine light came on and has stayed on since. Usually, when it stalls the battery light, lights as well.

have the cars computer read for fault codes .. this could be a CKP (crankshaft position sensor) fault .. but it is best to get a full diagnostic run !!
