1996 Buick Century, engine shuts off while driving twice now. The radio, lights and heat will all stay on if I have them on. I can throw it in park turn the ignition to off, then restart it with no problems. WHAT'S GOING ON

Any applicable trouble codes? How long since a tune-up? Maybe an intermittent rpm signal?

No tune up, oil just changed in the last month. Hsve not ttried for codes. The gages do not work and someone said something about a crank something or an ignition coil?

As far as your gages, check the gage fuse. Use a voltage tester, the fuse circuit goes hot when you turn on the key. The ignition switch could cause it to stall? It's hard to know, which way to go without some testing?
