If it dies right when you put it in gear. It would be the valve body or the torque converter lock up solenoid sticking. These can be checked and replaced with out pulling the transmission. The codes have to be read, Since it is intermittent, you have to use a scanner to look at history codes.

It could be a number of things.
the pads settling in.

The anti squeal retainer not put back on.
Take apart and have a look.
Also put a little copper grease on back of pad.

You should open the hood,put someone else in the car and have them rev the engine while you observe the engine because pinpointing it will really help.Even though you are not running the A/C,the compressor is still being turned by the belt.Also,right now I would make a diagram of the belt routing in case it breaks.Some cars do have a sticker with the diagram under the hood,usually toward the front.If you do not use your A/C much,the bearing may be hanging up as well as any part belt driven which you have not replaced and may be making it squeal.Also,if your compressor ends up seizing,and you do not use the A/C much,and is expensive to replace(which also happened to me),I searched and found another car with the same exact engine but was made with no A/C.I had a Buick and the substitute was a Chevy.Most of my answer is for future possibilities but for now just try to pinpoint it and go from there.Some cars just do squeal after time but you also had bogging and stalling which is not normal(obviously).Also inspect your belt.Check the edges for fraying.Check the width for cracks.Many small cracks fairly close together or a few large cracks a couple inches apart is cause for concern.If any of these are present,you should at least get a belt to keep in the car in case it snaps.I would put off replacing for now until you can figure out what is happening.My answers are usually lengthy because I try to inform,educate,and give almost every scenario which could happen so there is no surprise.
Good luck! Greg

The check engine light will always come on when the engine stalls.It could be your fuel filter needs replaced or your fuel pump is going out. The fuel pumps can heat up and stop working, then after they have a chance to cool off they will work just fine until they get hot again.

cam sensor will make a squealing noise i have an 05 freestar 4.2l take the top of the sensor off put 2 drops of motor oil in it and reassemble that will take care of your noise .

what about the wheel bearings they wont squeal going around a corner because the weight on them but they will while driving straight.

sounds like a belt or a pull that the belt rides on . you should spray belt dressing on the belt and see if it stops squealing . you can it at you local parts store

Maybe yall should check the power steering pump.Hubby said it could be that. Repost and let us know if and when yall get it fixed!
