it could be a faulty fuel pump,
it could also be an accelerator pedal sensor throttle,
could be dirty injectors if its a 2.2 turbo diesel?
sometimes the injector pump releases swarf (little fragments of Metal)
which can contaminate the fuel lines and infect the whole system causing injector failures, blockages and even bring the engine to a halt.
get your fuel or fuel pump checked out before it causes major disruption.
Hope that Helps

the ecu is reset when you disconnect the battery. after driving for awhile or letting the car idle in drive, your problem should be solved. the ecu is reset when you disconnect the battery. after driving for awhile or letting the car idle in drive, your problem should be solved.
In the short term, there's not much you can do. Take a defensive driving class to try and correct whatever problem you're having, then keep a good driving record for awhile. Your rates will come down over time.
What kind of car year make and model?
It's just above the alternator. Took me awhile to find it.
crank/cam sensor max airflow sensor
Answerheater core will most likely be the problem Answerheater core will most likely be the problem Had same problem. Is your temp gauge reading normal? If temp gauge is reading low after driving awhile, may be the thermostat stuck open. If so, easier fix than heater coil.
A plugged catalytic converter could be the culprit.
I am no mechanic, but I had the same problem on my 95 Ford Taurus SHO. My car would just shut down while I was driving and turn on for awhile after it shut off. After looking around, I found out it was the crankshaft positioning sensor. I changed it out, and that fixed the problem. I suggest to look online taking to consideration your make and model of your vehicle.
Check your sensors.
check your crank sensor
Check the fuel filter and catalatic convertor.
