First thing to try is clean the throttle body plate and bore, this fixes at least 75% of stalling problems with GM products
Robin, if you smell gas you need to have that checked now!!! A fuel leak can result in a fire. Also check for engine codes and vacuum leaks The idle air control valve may be causing problems Hope this helps ,Bill
Omg!!! Yes only when I start the car I get a wiff. So is this the reason it cuts off?? I made it home from work and it didnt cut off. For the past 2days when I get off the freeway it cuts off.

If the check engine is on have the ecm codes read .This will tell you where to start.

A lot of GM vehicles experience bad fuel pressure regulators. Sometimes they leak internally, failing to keep fuel pressure where it should be, other times they can leak externally and drip gas. This may be what you're experiencing. Have someone check the fuel pressure regulator (not an expensive part) and generally not to hard to change depending on where its located on your car and which of the three available engines your car has (a four cylinder or one of two V6s).
Had the same problem but my car was tampered with. The wires leading to the braking regulator/manifold were severed. It acted exactly the same way yours did. Brake manifold/regulator.

When you put the jumper cables on, put the key in the drivers door lock and unlock the door to deactivate the factory alarm.

i had the same prob. w my 97 grand am. i bought a new ignition switch and installed it...after installing you have to reset the theft system. all you have to do to reset is turn the key far enough for it to bump the motor over then leave the key in the run position for about ten to twenty minutes...might hook bat. to charger cause if it dies in process you have to start all over...the theft light will either blink then stay on or go out completly....

sound like a bad fuel pump.

Sounds like your security system is shutting the car down. You should be able to leave the key on for 15 minutes and it will reset itself. Make sure you are using factory keys, and they are in good condition.
