I was at a stop light and the car cut off, but it started up again. Than I was at the store and I left the car running and when I returned the car had cut off. After several attempts it started up again it seemed to be the fuel pump than I noticed that my battery volts were at about 12 volts. I dont know exactly the promblem but I am going to get a battery tommorow. Please help if you have any suggestions. Thanks

Battery should not be causing it to stall. Do you have to wait a bit for it to restart? My guess is you have a crank sensor failing hot. If you can find the connector at rear of left head, check the hot resistance. It should read around 950 ohms.
