    welcome to the forums. theres a lot of possibilities here. is the SES light on? and could you be more descriptive on the conditions that causes it to shut off?

    Is your traction contol light coming on when it dies? does your tachometer drop to 0 while driving? Both indicate Crankshaft position sensor.
