So, I have been noticing some issues with my car and I have taken it to the dealership, and they say nothing is wrong. Suddenly while sitting at a red light at an intersection my car shut off and it did not want to come back on. When it shut off my engine light oil light and battery light came on. I had it towed to the dealership this time and still after running test apparently, they say nothing is wrong. But yet it shut off suddenly.

Yep, this can be a tough one, intermittent problems. The first things that come to mind are the crankshaft sensor, MAP sensor or fuel pump or fuel pump relay. We should run the codes to see if anything comes up that can point us in the right direction. This guide can help:

When it stalls again, I would lift the hood and disconnect the MAP sensor which is easy to do, and it will eliminate that suspect.
