My car stalls when driving just a few miles and while I am driving. It will stall if I am AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR A HALF HOUR, THEN IT WILL START. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTERS REPLACED BUT THIS DIDN'T HELP. IT IS A QUAD 4. I AM REALLY FRUSTRATED.

I was driving around town running some errands. I was coming to a stop off the highway, and my car started making a chugging and jerking sound. As I came to a complete stop, it died. I freaked out, put it in park and tried to restart it. Started just fine, but as soon as I put it in drive, it died again. Everytime. So I let it idle in park for a minute, and tried it again, I was able to move to a parking lot near by and look at it. It started just fine and seemed to not have any problems, except it had a generally low idle. Something was making a gurgling sound, some kind of liquid gurgling. Not really sure what it was. My check oil light kept coming on all day, but it always does that, I don't think it has anything to do with that. I wasn't low on oil, and I didn't need a change for another 1200 miles. My car has a lot of mileage on it, but almost everything in it is new. I'm wondering if it has to do with my feul pump, filter or injectors? I have new injectors as of August 2007, is it time for new ones? I need help!! Please!

Alright so i was sitting in my buddy's driveway. The car ran completely fine out there. After about 10 minutes of letting it warm up before i was about to leave, it started to vibrate real bad. Then, every time i attempted to shift it into a gear it died. It did this every time. Sometimes it didn't start and sometimes it did.I really could not tell you. someone help me out here please!!!
