It starts back up within a minute of it stalling. I was wondering what could be causing this? Sometimes my car stalls while I am driving. It happens once a week up to once a day. It seems to happen if I am driving alot that day. With alot of starting and stopping of the engine. I have recently had a full tune up, new fuel filter and O2 sensor put in and the diagnostic that was done didn't mention anything else.

Sometimes it starts up right away but it usually takes 2 or 3 tries but it always starts up again.

sounds like you need this part
ebay item 170761661156 (im not the seller for this part)
i had the same problem my car would start and stall at red lights.
i finally got to a point were i had to hold the key in place.
i checked at my local auto parts store and was looking a a $100+ part. they wanted to sell the unit when all i needed was the wiring.
