What is wrong with my car?

My car problem is elusive and has gotten worse...First it died at a stop light...then it began to die when I was driving too...I have had trouble with the car starting back up after it dies...but now I can't get it to start at all and sometimes when I try to get it to start it skretches.

2000 izuzu rodeo reduced power light came on, it starts up but immediately dies. Read all the following codes p0502, p0401, p1125, p1295, p1515, p0137, p0106, p1299

check all fuses to start with. then check all grounding points... for that many codes usually means a bad pcm or loose ground wire..

I have a 97 Buick lesabre it'll die while driving the temp, battery, and oil pressure lights all come on it usually takes the car up to an hour to start. After stopped oil pressure will go to 20-25 but...

this issue sounds like u have a bad ignition control module,located directly under ur coilpak. thats wat they do wen they get hot aftr driving a while, shut off while driving(u must b loosing spark to ur plugs)an restarting wen cooled off. one way to check this for urself would b to purchase a spark checker at autozone or pepboys fairly inexpensive, an wen ur car dies, open the hood remove one sparkplug wire install tester between plug an wire, or wire an a good ground an have someone crank engine while u look at the tester bulb,if it lights up an pulses uspark is good,if it doesnt lite up at all while cranking engine ur spark is gone an thats ur problem possibly crank a sensor or the ignition module we mentioned earlier. try mounting the spark checker before the engine dies so u know wat a good spark will look like on that checker..... hope this helps good luck

Rough Idle and then the veh cuts off

Have you tried cleaning the mass air flow sensor ? Use Qtip and carb cleaner to remove any gunk on the two wires that strech across the inside.

Stalling throughout driving speeds or dies when comming to a stop

some cars have this problem when the intake manifold is loose or drawing air or the roteror cap may be defect, to check your manifold ,with a cold running moter spray a bit of starter spray (with eather) along the intake manifold , if it's leaking the moter will increase in rpm.
