Well, driving about 25 miles an hour the car just stalled. It will start but it will not stay started.

Good afternoon.

You need to find out if it has lost spark or fuel.

A fuel pressure test and spark test need to be done to verify.

Also, it could also be a timing belt that may have jumped from age or a failed tension-er. a compression test will verify this.
