Hi Rob:
Is the service engien soon light on all the time now? If so I would get the car scanned for codes at one of the big box auto parts stores they do it for free and see what code(s) are stored. That is a starting point. Untill you know what the code is it's hard to tell you what direction to start looking at. Does this car have a lot of miles on it? When it dies out does it chuck ans sputter then die or does it cut out like someone just turned off the key?
