my daughters 2001 pontiac sunfire, 2.2 engine, 85k miles..
the car gauges fliker and the car dies from time to time. only when shes driving. i have checked the altinator and wiggled the wiring under the hook thinking it might be a loose ground or short. the car never does it while its setting still, this is why i think its a loose ground or a bare wire shorting out. the engine has no codes in the computer and the check engine light never comes on...what do you think i should do or is there something else i should try?

Does it start back up after it stalls out? Is there any aftermarket equipment installed? Any repairs done prior to what is going on now?

Does it stall only at idle, while cruising or accelerating, or all the above?
