Re: The mechanics can't figure it out
Crank sensor would be my first thought.

Re: The mechanics can't figure it out
Wouldn't that give me a check engine light

Re: The mechanics can't figure it out
as far as I know, no that would not give you a check engine light but I would also check out the sensor beside the MAF sensor and the MAF sensor common things that will make your car shut off at low RPM's

Re: The mechanics can't figure it out
As Ryan said, crank sensor usually causes this and sometimes the ICM has without throwing codes. They get warm and cause problems and start right back up after a few minutes to cool.

Re: The mechanics can't figure it out
I had this happen on my '02 due to a bad connection at the battery terminal. It would just die at highway speed.

Exact problem my daughter was having before I tightened the battery positive terminal that her husband tried to remove when he set off the security alarm. It needs to be tight!!!
