Hey Sarah,
Let me ask, does your car suddenly lose all power just before it dies? I'm not talking about electrical power, but does it suddenly feel like you let go of the pedal as your driving and feel that it hesitates and runs rough just before it completely stalls? If so, then it could be a vaccum leak in the throttle bottle; a bad mass air flow sensor; clogged fuel injectors or faulty fuel pump.
Also, I would suspect a faulty alternator as well. I just posted a message regarding my overcharging alternator, but if it's not charging enough then that could be the problem too. Otherwise, your electrical system would be doing weird things if it were overcharging (as in my case). Then again, if it's not charging enough, then the battery light SHOULD come on.
Just a few suggestions....GOOD LUCK!
