NOT SURE OF THE PROBLEM, WHILE GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 60 MILES AN HOUR IT WILL DIE. SOMETIMES YOU LET IT SIT FOR A LITTLE WHILE IT WILL START UP OTHER TIMES IT WON'T START. OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT START UP AFTER DRIVING IT ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES. HAVE HAD IT TO THE MECHANIC BUT SAYS HE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT ACTS UP ON HIM. BECAUSE THE YEAR OF THE CAR IT WILL NOT HOLD A CODE. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO TRY.

Hook up a fuel pressure gauge designed for your fuel system and monitor it-when it happens its gonna show if its fuel related-

When it dies out you have to immediately check for fuel and spark one of this is gonna be missing-it has to be done quick-to catch it-otherwise you're right back to square one.

A good tech will out smart this problem obviously you ain't got it
