Sent to Car Experts September 04, 2006 5:18 p.m.

I have a 97 Buick Park Avenue and when I am driving even going 60 down the highway it will die. It would just start right back up after I would switch to Neutral but now I am having to pull over and wait 10 min before it will start again. I have had it in two shops but it doesn't show a code and it doesn't do it to them. It almost cause me to be in accident last week. No one can help me and this is my only form of transportation help me please. When it dies I don't have any warning and all the dash lights shut off but the service engine light. It has 108,000 on it. Also when it dies it turns over great but won't start.
