CAR WOULD SHUTTER THAN STOP RUNNING WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION. THE OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. ONLY ONCE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN FOR AWHILE, AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. THIS PROBLEM WOULD KEEP ON HAPPENING THE LONGER THE CAR HAD BEEN ON, FOR EXAMPLE, EVERY TIME WE HAD TO STOP, SUCH AS AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR WOULD SHUTTER THEN SHUT OFF. ONCE, IT HAD SHUT OFF ON AN EXPRESSWAY AS I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON AN EXIT AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AGAIN FOR AN HOUR.
