Main sensor was out ..or the brain or whatever its called It's called the PCM - powertrain control module - engine computer . Check the code yourself -easy on dodge ,chrysler ,jeep vehicle's .Don't need a scan tool . Put the key in the ignition , turn it on then off ,then on , then off ,then on an leave it on .Look at the odometer ,It will show P codes . Your problem could be caused by a number of different thing's sensors the control module ,electrical problem ,relays that are shorted when warmed up.
no one seems to be able to tell me what is wrong ??????? Who is no one ?Try the dealer if you have not done so.

2005 Toyota Sequoia shuts down while driving

It is possible that your cam angle sensor is on its way out. Have it checked asap, it will choose a lonely, deserted road miles from nowhere to finally let you down.

WOULD THIS BE A CRANK SENSOR OR TIMING CHAIN OR BRAIN BOX OR PROBLY SOME SENSOR I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT

Sounds like major trouble. Tow it to a mechanic if you feel the car is worth spending money in. He will tell you in a second probably. what it is. Sounds like it's internal.

After driving four to seven miles engine light comes on.when I shut off the car engine light goes off till I drive four to seven miles

Go to Autozone or Oreillys for a free scan. If done within 20 to 25 startups whatever happened will be recorded and in memory.

When you replace parts remember to disconnect the NEG cable of the battery for 10 minutes to clear the old problem. The codes will show you what area is messing up.

When I drive the lumina about 20 miles and brake to stop engine dies. Will restart in park but as soon as put in drive or reverse it instently dies after it cools about 10-15 minets can restart and drive

a bad crank sensor causes a car to shut down while driving down road. and will not start back up for about 10 minutes. have car scanned to read the problem codes. any auto parts stores will scan for free.

2005 Dodge durango shuts down.

I had a similar problem with 99 Durango.
Replaced PCM with refurbished "brain" from online Florida company and no problems since. You may want to google for refurbished PCM and call the guys who sell them -- they were helpful to me and my fix was 3 screws and < $300.00.

It will just shut down and come rite back on line.

Try replacing the brain with a refurbished PCM. Google for the Florida company site and call the guys there and see what they think. I had a similar problem with 99 Durango and bought a refurbished brain for < $300.00 and 3 screws later my car was fixed with no problems since.
