Engine dyes the first time it dyed i was driving with the cruise set no sputtering just quit gauges and lights were still on just no engine. started right back up drove 4 miles went to turn into town it dyed again then at the next stop sign. has full tank wasnt hot the cruise didnt kick off
I would suspect a fuel pump. But this needs to be verified. Intermittent problems can be some of the hardest to get a handle on. I think the best place to start would be getting a fuel pressure gauge on the system and driving the car until it fails. At the point when the engine begins to die check the gauge. I suspect the pressure at this time will be 0 psi. I believe fuel presssure should be around 35psi. If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, take to a reputable shop. Should be an easy one to find. Good Luck.

Going with power lose. Check the grounds. Main three are from the battery to engine, battery to body, and engine to body. I wold check for codes, even if the light is not on. There could be some pending.
code p0320 refers to cam shaft position (CKP) sensor/engine speed (RPM) sensor--circuit malfunction=== causes --wiring--CKP/RPM sensor ---ECM
because the engine runs ok until it is on cruise control I would be investigating the RPM sensor for a fault
The cruise control takes its control from the RPM sensor and if that circuit is interminable the the cruise control doesn't know what rpms to maintain.
When you say "sputters at 2000 rpm" , are you referring to ANY time the engine is at 2000 rpm - meaning in Park, when you are just goosing the throttle, or in gear when you are accelerating, or at highway speed in high gear? If you are experiencing a "shuddering" in the engine at certain speeds/rpms - especially if these are speeds you regularly cruise at (long commutes at steady speeds), the problem could be in the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). They have a tendency to wear unevenly if you drive a certain steady speeds. Eventually, the problem would progress to an engine code, but it may occur without setting the check engine light.
Must not have been much of a mechanic. If the engine runs and sounds fine sometimes and other times it doesn't then it does not sound like a mechanical problem with the engine. Sounds more like a issue with either the ignition system or fuel system.
Have the codes read this will shed some light on the situation,it can be numerous things that can cause the problem you are having.Also have the alternator checked.
Dirty Power and Ground connections. Working from the Battery, disconnect and clean all joints, along the Harness to the Main power box, and do the same in there.
It is a Ball acher, but it will fix the problem.
