What's making my 96 corolla shut off while driving down the road or waiting on a light, and then doesn't want to restart when before it would?

I have 94 s 10..4.3 v6. it does the same thing have replaced fuel pump and filter,ignition module,cap rotor plugs wires,coil,ground strap...driving down the road jus dies like the key got shut off....for a while when troubleshooting through the parts you could get it to restart.....now when it dies it cranks really hard when trying to restart..ive checked the timeing its fine....if i wait a few min it will usually start...sometimes it will show a check engine light sometimes not......never know when it will happen sometimes jus down the the road from the house sometimes 100miles down the road......sometimes three times in a mile sometimes not for weeks at a time..Wtf...Im ready to shoot it like a lame horse....its a shame too its a sharp lil truck thats a two owner and never spent a night outside in its life...i knew the original owner ...i bought it with 90,000 on it it only has 148,000 now and still looks like new...

could be crankshaft sensor.

On the Battery the positive cable there should to a red wire
Some times they come loose try that

Their would be no petrol inside the car

a bad crank sensor shuts off while going down road. then restarts after 10 minutes, but only until it happens again.

if car shuts off while driving down the road. then restarts after 10 minutes, a bad crank sensor will do this.

i have a 93 toyota camry and going down the road just giving it a little gas it will shut down. it will run great setting their but get to go no more then 20 mph driving me crazy can afford to get a pro but i need to know how to do the check engine light obd two will not do it help going crazy

Just a suggestion but my guess would be the engine control module. Usually when they heat up, the engine shuts down and when they cool off it works again, until it heats up again, then poof. I sincerely hope that I helped. Best wishes.

check your battery termanals, make sure they are clean and tight. could be a bad battery or just need charging. also could be the altenator. try jump starting it first.
