Engine is missing once and awhile durning normal driving conditions, but the bigger problem is sometimes the engine stops running. It's like the key is in the on position but you have not started yet. No engine codes or service engine light is not on (but is working properly) It's like your driving and someone turns the key off than on again (engine stops running) and is waitng to be started again. It starts right back up each and every time. Runs good and does this every so often. I am thinking about BATTERY CABLES? Never been replaced. Car has been a great car with over 151,000 miles and no major problem.

Does it stumble or run rough when it happends or does it just stop. You could have a bad ingnition module

It just stops. Otherwise it runs great, but does miss if you will once and awhile. When it stops it stop. No stumbling or anything else. Is there a way to test the ing mod? The car starts every time, but I also thought about the Ing. Switch or module.
Thanks for the reply.

Could be either. With it starting right back up and only doing it once in a while its gonna be hard to find. Usually if it doesnt start right back up you can look for a no spark issue.
