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.

What's wrong with my 2005 BMW 330xi?

Give it up and have a dealer look into this problem.

Check emission system

you did not give a trouble code from the check engine light, but probably a Vacuum leak.

I meant how do you replace an egr sensor in a 2005 rendezvous?

A faulty egr would not create a high idle issue. if an egr valve were to open while idling then it would create a heavy stumbling engine or it would die right out. if there is a check engine light on (or service engine soon light) have the codes pulled. Failing that then I suggest taking it to a reputable shop

Okay well when im driving down the road

sounds like the alternator is going bad. I had the same problem in a 94' Ford Probe. I replaced the alternator and it ran perfect. Hope this helps

My 2005 dodge diesel will die and then start right back up. The Spedometer and RPM's will both drop to ''0'' and then it will start and all goes back to normal. No engine lights come on. I need help.

Hmmm, this is very strange. I have two articles that I have read that come to mind that I believe will help.

It sounds like this happens all of a sudden when driving given that the speedometer and RPM go down, you say, and for this, please review the following article that addresses the possible causes of your engine's abrupt/sudden dying while driving at this link:

http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Vehicle_Car_Zone_Cars_Trucks_Vans_Engine_System_Engine_Abruptly_Quits_Periodically_While_Driving.htm

Also, since your gauges go down while driving, in addition to the probable causes mentioned in the article linked above, your problem may be a bad alternator according to this article on the sudden loss of a gauge reading while driving:

http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Vehicle_Car_Zone_Cars_Trucks_Vans_Alternator_Gauges_Go_Up_And_Down_Like_Crazy.htm

These articles should lead you to a solution.

Running poorly

A sudden drop in "rmp" like that is more likely a spark problem not a fuel problem. I would suggest a crank or cam sensor peoblem. Good Luck
