The vehicle dies intermittently, sometimes while driving and other times while coming to a stop. The vehicle runs rough sometimes while coming to a stop.

Here is an update:

We took the vehicle to the shop and the following was done:

Changed: oil pressure sensor

Changed: map sensor

Now the car is not dying but running very rough especially when trying to accelerate over 40 mph.
