My car shuts off and the engine dies while running but the electrical systems still run. It will turn over but not start. After a while I can start the car and run it for a while but then it shuts down again. The engine light is on but I was curious if it was something to do with the computer or engine itself.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
