I can be driving my car and it feels like its going to stall on some cause it does in the middle of the road! Also I can get in my car to start it but it won't start ! Can any one suggest what to do before I spend more than have to.

. Check/replace the ignition switch for wear or pitting.

. If the Check Engine Light consistently comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), then it's likely a distributor related problem. Usually, replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil solves the problem. Be sure to apply silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM. My bet is this is the problem, which is pretty common these days.
