According to a code reader, this is what is wrong with my car right now.

TPS/Pedal Position Sensor A Circuit low input
Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
Output Speed Sensor Circut
Gear 1 ratio incorrect

The "check engine" light has been going on randomly seldomly over the last 6 months or so, but only a couple months ago the speedometer would stop working whenever the light was on, and I could feel the engine shift gears when it happened.

But here's the real concerning problem:

I don't know if it's related, but over the last few days, my engine has shut off with no warning while driving, including once on the freeway. There aren't any noises or stutters or anything. The engine starts back up a minute or two later with no problems.
