My car stalls out randomly. It doesn't matter whether the engine is hot or cold. It doesn't matter if the car is in motion or is still. Sometimes it will restart right away and others it will take an hour or more before it will start again. I have replaced the following parts:
Fuel pump/filter, ignition switch and ignition coil, the distributor, main relay sensor, cadalytic converter, and the wiring harness. Non of these have fixed the problem. There is no check engine light on in the car to code. What do I do next?

Hi heidimcouture,

Thank you for the donation.

Since problem is intermittent, it is not easy to rectify and based from your description of the symptoms, I would suspect a power supply connection problem. There could be a connection that is loose and intermittently fails.

When vehicle cannot be started after it stalled. You would have to check if it is sparks or fuel that is missing causing the problem.

If it is fuel, it could be the fuel pump or its wiring circuit.
