Once every couple of days suddenley my check engine light comes on, the car starts to stumble and then dies a minute later. It has done this will stopped and while driving at normal speed. I try to start it, it cranks but will not turn over. I let it sit for a few minutes and then it will start. Then it usually does not happen for a few more days.

Since your check engine light on the first thign to do is take the vehicle in and get it scanned. Autozone and a few other autopart stores will do it for you. If you dont have that convenice take it to a mechanic and have it scanned for codes. But it will cost you a bit.

Post teh codes back here so I can help diagnost your problem without guessing. Saving you money.

Thank you for responding. I took my car down to the auto parts store today and had them scan for the codes. It came up with several.

32 - Digital EGR circuit
43 - Knock Sensor/
TPS out of adjustments
53 - Alernator voltage
66 - A/C Pressure sensor

It seems from these that I would need to change the Throttle Position Sensor. It seems to line up with my problems.
