My car drives great..but recently has started to randomly stall out of nowhere and then it will start right back up. The other day I couldn't get it to start at all, then after a few tries, it started and ran fine. Any ideas?

When it stalls, is it at an idle or while driving? Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked for vacuum leaks or the fuel pump pressure?

Let me know.
