It will just shut off while driving after letting sit a few minutes start back up. I have changed fuel filter, control module and ignition coil pack. While test driving it shut off once, started back up. A belt broke, but was able to drive home. Do belts have anything to do with car shutting off? What are your thoughts?

Hello, I am Danny.

Just a quick question. Have you load tested the battery and tested the alternator? I have attached the links for you. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
