While driving the car shuts off and restarts...this feels like someone turned the key off and back on again. Fuel mileage has gone from good to poor. Thank you.

No, I can be driving on the highway doing about 65-70Mph and it is as if someone turns the key off and then turns it back on within about 1 second.

Yes engine light is on. I have owned the car for about 2 years now and it has been on since I bought it. I Cant find anyone with OBD1 Scanner for Suzuki. Also the car will sometimes start, die out, and will not start again.... I am clueless. Its getting spark tho. any feedback you have is greatly appreciated.
