This car has only 50000 miles on it.
2000 malibu 3.1 engine shuts off while driving, after stopping the car and turning key off - then on, it starts and runs fine for 5 or 10 minutes, then shuts off again.First time it happened we were on level city road at 30mph, 2nd time 20 minutes later going downhill, and third time while on level at 40 mph.
I drove it to the mechanic, he put it on the diagnostics and everything showed normal. He went on test run for 20 minutes and it ran fine. Tonite he took it home to see if it willl stop. It ran fine.
Now its the third day, we drove around town and it runs fine.
Any suggestions as to solutions for this problem as the car is in very good condition.
I'd hate to take it to the scrap man with this low mileage, and its like new condition.
But It's not safe to drive and the engine shut off can easily cause a fatality.
