I'm not sure what the problem is, but it's happened three times in
the last 2-3 months or so.

The first time I was on the freeway, and the engine stopped running. I
honestly thought I'd hit the clutch or something and made the engine
die. Since the problem didn't happen again and I had a belt replaced
shortly after and nothing came up with the mechanic I thought it was
nothing.

Then again while I was idling. The engine simply died. I thought
perhaps it was the battery, so I started it after a minute or two and
drove around the lot to retun energy. it was fine for a few hours
until i started driving home.

On the freeway at 60 mph, the engine cut again. Everything was fine,
the clutch was working. All my fliuds I fill montly had just been
topped off and I had a full tank of gas and it cut. I let it sit for
10 minutes wehile waiting for AAA to answer their phone, tried again,
and it started and got me home.

The problem is that's 2 times in one day and I'm not sure whats
causing it. I've done some research and wondered that it might be the
88-91 ignotor module recall but I just bought the car in March. SO I
don't know if it was already done for the recall or not.

I drive a fair bit for work and was hoping someone could help me out
with this problem before it happen again on the freeway. I plan on
taking it into a mechanic but to be honest I can't afford for alot of
parts to be replaced on it right now. So any suggestions to reduce the
amount of money I have to spend and confusion I have to wade through
is greatly apprecaited.

check the ignition switch and make sure you don't have a bunch of heavy
stuff on the key ring.
