Hi,

There are a number of things that can cause an engine to stall while driving.

Here is a guide that will assist with starting to identify the possible causes:

I have attached a couple of the procedures in the event you find something this guide covers.

I think the first and easiest thing to do is check for any codes. Hopefully there is a code in the system that will help point us in the right direction. If not, then we will need most likely need a scan tool that can monitor data. Is there any chance you have one of these?

If you don't, a parts store can pull any codes for you and they don't charge. If you can get them (if there are any) and let me know, I am sure we can figure this out. Thanks
