My car keeps dying usually it starts back up within thirty or forty minutes. Only thing I can think of is the computers messing up. The RPM's drop to zero then it dies. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent gauge and is probably your problem.

Hi JEREMIAH89,

Here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com. For your convenience I have included a link to Amazon.com code scanner page.
