Engine Shut offs

Maybe someone out there can advise me on what could be wrong with my baby. My max has 177,000 miles strong on her and all I have ever changed is the plugs,starter and alternator and of course the oil.Well it seems that when I am running my A/C and my car is in park it will shut off sometime. Every now and again it does it while I am driving and braking. I just put new NGK plats in her and it still does it. I get great mpg and I run 93 octane. Somebody look out for a brother. Holla back.

P.S. anyone with honeycomb style factory alloys give me a line.

whats up man. I'm not sure if you have this problem but I had the same thing happen to me when I first got my car. There was something wrong with my ignition and somehow the ignition column got damaged and the key was sendind false signals when it started, so the car eventually shut off, even when I was driving. You might want to get your ignition checked out. Don't go to a dealer because I paid anout $1100 for a new ignition. good luck with your ride.
