ok so this is whats going on. i have a 1997 buick lesabre limited edition. While i am driving my car stops on me. the oil level light goes to zero the alteranator volt battery light comes on my power steering goes out and my car slowly rolls until the momentum has stopped. sometimes it would start back up immediately and sometimes it would take up to an hour for it to start back up again. i have noticed that it happens when the car heats up or if im driving during the day in the heat of the desert. i have heard different things, someone told me it was my starter or alternator (i took my alternator to get tested and it did not fail), i replaced the fuel pump and the problem persists. i went and bought some fule injector cleaner and it still has the same problem but now after it stops it usually starts back up after a couple of mins after maybe stalling if trying to start it back right away. none of the mechanics i took it to knows whats going on and i put money into the car and the problem still isnt' fixed. they didnt know what it was after i took it to get a diagnostic because the check engine light came on but that problem was due to an unplugged vacuum hose but the car continues to stop anytime anywhere it doesn't really matter how fast or slow i am going. but i think its the fuel filter clogging. please help :-(
