This is the Swift model. Engine quit running at stop sign. Would start again after I stop the engine on took the key out.

'The car has previous same problem, two to three times in six month, but yesterday has stopped six times in thirty minutes. My mechanic replaced the timing belt in June month that year as it was stretched "a little bit'.

At diagnose test do not come with any codes.

Hello,

It sounds like the timing belt may have let go again. Lets start with a compression test to confirm the cam is not turning.

Please let us know what you find.
