While driving my car suddenly stops, shuts down. I was told to put it in neutral then start it back up? This seems to work for a short while only. I can sometimes push on gas pump and the car while sped up to normal. Also my anti-freeze leaks out? I was told these problems might be: some computer like deal needs to be reset, fuel pump and eec relay fuses? Please contact me with any useful words of hope? Thank You.

The coolant leak has nothing to do with any of the things you mentioned. What I recommend is to pressurize the system and then check for the leak. If you can tell me aprox where you see coolant leaking under the hood, I should be able to tell you what to check.

As far as the stalling, are there times that it won't restart?
