i HAVE HAD MY CAR CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES, THE CRANK SYSTEM WAS REPAIRED, A PIPE WAS PUT IN THINKING SOME AIR MUST BE LEAKING IN, IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING AND AS FOR YEARS, HOWEVER IT IS GETTING WORSE, HERE IS THE PROBLEM - OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN, OR THE ENGINE DIES -WHATEVER YOU CALL IT, THIS HAPPENS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR WHILE I AM COMPLETELY STOPPED BUT THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. IT HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING, YOU CAN'T PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, ONE DAY AND THEN MAYBE 2 DAYS LATER. ALLTHE LIGHTS COME ON, THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYS ON THE LONGEST, THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON BEFORE, THE CAR WILL ALWAYS START RIGHT BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. IT IS SO AGGRAVATING, I TRUST MY MECHANIC AND IT'S ALSO BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP, STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WE SHOULD LOOK FOR. THANKS
