I'll be driving my car and then out of the blue it will stall and not start back up. I'll let it sit for a little while(10-20 minutes) and then it starts. the last time it happened i felt like a pop then the Check Engine light went on then it stalled out then I let it sit then it started back up.

Usually ends up as a bad igniton module, try taking it out, go to a parts store and have them test it. Is the check engine light on?

If the ignition module is checked and found to be good, you must scan for codes, check PCM power and grounds, and loose connections, then check fuel pressure. Go here and checkout our video.
