Engine stalls randomly does not seem to have a common time, place temperature etc. It will stall and a code will flash on clock inside car and a lot of the time it starts itself right back up and no check engine light or anything. The last code on clock was 116. Please help this was my brothers car and he passed away and my daughter and I are trying to keep it on the road for his memory and because we need transportation. Thank you all!
