Car stalls while driving. Service wrench light comes on and security light flashes three times car stalls then restarts. Only does this while driving when in park and running does not stall. No codes shown when being scanned.

So it only shuts off when you first go to start it while your in park? Then the security light starts flashing?Just want to make sure your not driving down the street when this happens.

No, the car only dies while driving. I can start it and it will set and idle just fine, once I begin driving down the road the car will stall at different times. When it stalls the security light flashes 3 times and the service wrench light come on. I can immediately restart the car and drive sometimes for a few minutes other times for a couple seconds and it stalls again. When the car is in park and idling it never stalls only while driving. No codes ever show up. Lost dont know which way to turn.

So you only know that you don't have engine and tramission codes if you used a basic diyer code reader. The first thing I would do is have a professional scan tool read all the computers to see what codes up. You might even need the professional scan tool to diagnose the problem depending on what's found. Otherwise you might be missing some clues from potential codes.
