check if you have a theft system. You would have a light on the right hand side of the gage system dashboard. that will do that if it is acting up

No it doesn’t have an anti theft system and I’ve also changed the fuel pressure regulator and the four fuel injectors and still no result

OK, so, I found the culprit via esoteric sources after sifting through 100's of answers on websites with the same problems and a cheap fix came up 3 times...I forget the links but, you can do a search. Here is what worked for me....the engine coolant sensor. After I replaced it, the vehicle hasn't stalled on the freeway for over a month which restored my confidence in the car's reliability which I keep up in an impeccable condition. Hope that this helps someone out there! Cheers!
