    I have a 97 gp se. It happened 3 times since Saturday. Im driving and all of a sudden the battery and oil light comes on and my car slows down and stops. I have a P0102 code (TPS). Could that be the reason my car is shutting off. Maybe something is wrong with the battery?? I replaced my alternator so im ruling that out. Plz help. I love this car but im putting too much money in it to keep it around

    random stalling is usually caused by a bad mass airflow sensor or a bad crankshaft position sensor, but seeing as your car gave you a code i think you know what the problem is
