When driving theft light will come on and engine tries to stall. If driving slow in town or stopped it will stall. It will immediately restart. It started doing this occasionally, but is getting more frequent. I had the ignition key recurve changed a couple of years ago, and I wonder if it is going bad again. I have used both keys, so it is not a bad diode in the key.

Your going to have to have your car scanned with a professional scan tool not a diyer scan tool to see the exact code numbers you have not code descriptions? Otherwise one could only guess what's going on.You may also need that professional scan tool to diagnose the problem.
