I will be driving my car then it just stalls. The power will stay on but the engine will drop. The car will usually turn back on. Not sure what it is that makes the engine to continue dropping.

Can you rev the engine up to keep the engine running or does it stall when attempting that?
If it keeps running you should check for a sever vacuum leak.

If it dies when reving you should check the fuel pressure when the engine drop occurs to see if fuel pressure is similar.

Make sure your not bumping the ignition switch when driving. Wiggle the ignition with the engine running to see if that is causing the engine to shut off but the power remains on.
