Car would cut off pulling up to stop sign, at first few times i could re crank it and it continue to run. however after this has happened a few times and sometimes having to wait 12 to 24 hours to get the car to start and stay running, it has now quit running all together. it sounds like its about to start running and staying running every now and then but it doesnt it will just die out again.
Tj, I dont think red light has anything to do with the car to stop running. It could be anything from regular service to tune up to weak battery. Since it has stalled on you several times, I suggest you have a mechanic look into it. Plus it must have high mileage and needs TLC.
Your no start condition is either lack of fuel(doubtful since it used to restart) or no spark. No spark could be from a failed crankshaft or camshaft sensor.
SOURCE: check engine light stays on
Just a suggestion, take it to an auto parts place that will perform a free diagnostic check (O'Reilly, NAPA, etc. usually do them free), they can read the code, and tell you what is wrong.... you can go from there as to a plan of auction. Good luck.
It does sound like fuel pressure is low or intermittent. Here are some check procedures p172 on

Is the check engine light showing a trouble code on the instrument panel? That may pin the trouble down.
It sounds like you have water in the tank.
