Car stalls while driving. Usually when doing under thirty seven miles per hour. No lights come on dashboard only when it stalls. Gives no warning that it is going to stall. I have to glide car to side of road. It does not do it all the time. It may stall then after thirty seconds I get it started then put it in drive, then stalled. I wait another thirty seconds and I have no problems, starts and drives no problems.

When it stalls the engine looses spark or fuel pressure most likely. We need to figure out which so we can get the problem solved.

Here are a few guides to get us started:

Please let us know what you find.

Sure does.

Here is a diagram on its location and a video that shows how to test it:

In this photo of my car where is the EGR Valve? I have looked at the diagram you sent and my engine looks different. Now the temperature control on the dashboard is showing a little higher than usual but still in the safe zone. I checked the radiator coolant today and it is a little low.
