Take it to Auto Zone and they can bring out this gadget that hooks onto your car and tells you what is wrong. Sounds like you may have a bad fuel pump, fuel filter or fuel line in there. I am not a mechanic, by any small part of the imagination but I had that happen once and that is what they checked first. Then the battery and alternator. If your battery is low and cannot charge the altenator back up again it will kill it in the middle of traffic. Good, cheap places to start if it just dies with no warning. Do the Auto Zone thing though and you will have your answers! Best of luck to you - maybe Santa will bring you a new one?!

That's a simple one, the cause is, it's Japenese and you fix it by getting a good ole' American car like a Ford or Chevy.
