When the car gets warm, it starts to spit and sputter and lose power, and then dies. It then comes back and does it again later. What could be wrong? I put heat and also Sea Foam clean in it.

I think you have a fuel problem and may have a dirty fuel filter. But fuel pressure needs to be checked to determine if you have a faulty fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator, you may also want to check the fuel pump relay, when it gets hot it may cause an open circuit causing the vehicle to die

Yes, the check engine light is on. It will start back up after dying.

You know what? We can get right down to the problem if we, can get the computer scanned for fault codes, its usually free depending on what state your in, autozone will do it if you dont live in california, and local parts stores will usually offer the service for free. Have it checked and bring the codes back to me, so we can get the settled once and for all
