You may have a sticking Torque Converter, or your Overdrive may be locking up. Try stopping (somewhere safe) in Neutral, and see if disengaging your overdrive will make a difference.

Testimonial: "i also noticed sometimes when i take off from light trans shifts early through all gears and wont shift down when i floor it..both started after replaceing timeing belt and valve cover gasket along with fps.could a defective tps be my issue???"

    I'm not a Toyota guy, but I suspect whatever method they use to shift the transmission is receiving a bad input.

Why do my headlights on my 2004 dodge durango cut off while driving down the road

engine stalls on the fly driving ,
has huge causes.
do head lamps die too , at same time?
does a fast right foot save it? or delay it or even cure it. ???????
do all electrics die or some only?
does it restart easy or only if let cool off the engine ( or restarts easy)
ever get a tune up in 18 years spark parts, filters all?

engines can sure do that for vast reasons even 50.
in macro form, a bad engine, bad spark , bad fueling, in that order.
there are many tests, for all that ,like 3 years of ASE study.
1: fuse blew and stalled, even pump fuse. but will not restart.
2: engine bad or just EGR stuck open or cats melted but again does it restart or even run cold to fail later, if does skip this. most times.
(keep in mind seen cylinders fail hot, valves in head stick open hot)
engine overheated some models of car, my 04chev, even cuts dead cylinders if engine overheats or even stalls it, as to not wreck it self.
3: bad spark, if ECU sees spark hard fail it cuts fuel, fix spark.
4: loss off fuel or too much./ too much floods engine, injectors stuck open or go dead/

there are a bevvy of tests to do in order.
just get it serviced if dead now say so
dead engines are easy to diagnose, and 10x safer too not moving.

Motor shuts off when started up,shuts off when driving.

hot engine or cold, or both? 180F+ is hot.
Shuts off, idling or on the fly, say at 30mph right foot down it dies?
just clue here...
engine stalls. is complex. but in the macro its below, using tools finds the reason,, but you never said did it restart easy./??????
1: lost of engine compression hot engine, (or overheated)
2: lost 12vdc electric power at stall (caused it) dash goes dead. ?
3: lost spark, test spark at the failure point. if dead trouble shoot speak.
4 bad fueling, too lean (say the fuel pump dies) or too rich.
too rich causes wet spark plug tips. (lots of causes )
5: stalls due to idle RPM too low, below 800 is too low.
too low idle rpm is caused by many things, but top 2 are.
A: EGR stuck wide open, clean it, as the books shows at 60k miles
B: ISC stuck closed. (same deal clean it)

now repost and say when it stalled,
at a read light or flying up a hill wot, wot= wide open throttle.
and when it dies, is the restart easy or hard.

Car cuts out during driving at highway speeds.

that is very good, the cars momentum will in fact restart the car.
with a M/T tranny, with A/T it slips. so is car a M/T , stick?
do post tranny type, we cant guess that....???
misfires and stalls. the engine stalls, the ECU tries very hard to
prevent stalls, but failed to do so...
you are loosing electric power, 12vdc , and this kills EFI
is the CEL lamp not coming on at 0rpm when the engine does stall>?
if not you lost 12v. hard fact.
this is not hard to find or fix ,if lost 12v.
when you lose 12v the dash goes dead, warning lamps fail.
and in such a stated, the key crank will be dead.
after all there is no 12v to do the cranking, from key.
its an old car and all cars fail there is no car that does not.
all machines do. even space shuttles. fail 1:50 times.

if you have a voltmeter, connect it to the CIG lighter port.
and see if the 13.3 to 15vdc running drops to zero or below 10v.
if yes, BINGO.
the CIG steals power from the ignition power feed.

when any key start fails to crank here are some tricks.

in view of your post , you have 2 non related problems
or the battery cables are corroded. ever clean them>
one other trick is have head lights on, at the stall
are the headlamps FULL bightness at the stall>?????? very easy test.

04 mustang 6 cyl. wont crank,think its the fuel relay switch or punp. the relay switch makes a buzzing when tapped on ?

How old is your battery? if it is 8 years old, I'm betting on the battery being dead. They can die rather suddenly, has happened to me twice. Battery will have enough power to run lights and such, but not crank the engine/power up the FI system. Otherwise, could be the relay.

My 1993 nissan sentra 1.6 wont run and check engine light wont turn on,bulb is ok

Could be any of several things. If the crank sensor is marginal and not sending pulses, the fuel pump is shut off. This is for safety. The pump is energized for a few seconds as key is turned in preparation for starting then engine must rotate normally to keep the pump on. If it stops, in a few seconds the fuel is cut off.

Starts and dies unless I rev it up then it will Idle

The battery might be low but I doubt it is causing the "no idle" problem.
You should have an idle air control valve that the computer uses to adjust idle speed. That valve could be faulty or dirty.
Is the check engine light on when the engine is running ?
