More info could be helpful.

How exactly does you car shut off? Did you have any problems like this before?

It may be that the alternator is busted, so it can’t create enough power to keep the car going.

My car did the same thing. When it warmed up it still though it was cold and then kept giving it more gas then it needed and then would stall and be flooded. The problem. It was the temperature sensor. It had gotten corded over time and ended up getting a bad connection. I cleaned it up, and it was good as new. The sensor is one of the three just to the right of the TB. Just clean them all and then when the car is running take them off one at a time. One will be for the temp gauge in the car (Probably only have on wire attached to it). The other will be the one you want. And the other is (I can’t remember)
Hope that fixes it.

This will tell u all the problems man.
IF your car only does that this is your problem.

  1. If you have a carburetor, the choke may not be set properly, or the choke is not working correctly.

  2. There may be a vacuum leak in the intake system.

  3. The idle speed may be set wrong.

  4. There may be some type of ignition problem.

  5. The ignition timing may be set wrong.

  6. There may be a fault in the computerized engine control system.

  7. The EGR valve may be defective.

  8. There may be a mechanical problem in the engine.

  9. The fuel injectors may be dirty.

I think is your EGR.

If it is warm it could be this.

  1. If you have a carburetor, the choke may not be set properly, or the choke is not working correctly.

  2. There may be a vacuum leak in the intake system.

  4. The idle speed may be set wrong.

  5. There may be some type of ignition problem.

  6. There may be a fault in the computerized engine control system.
