Q: Engine stalls a lot, starting to worry
After 80,000 miles, my 2006 Toyota Corolla began randomly stalling while driving. This happened the first time while I was going around a corner, but has since happened when braking or when changing lanes briskly. It is really affecting my confidence behind the wheel when I have to frantically restart the car randomly on the road! How do I fix this problem?
