Exclamation Car shut off

Hello, I have an 04 automatic with 112k miles

Yesterday I was approaching a stop sign and I came to a complete stop and it shut off and I couldn't get it started until after about 10 mins. The same thing happened last week. The car wants to shut off when I'm coming to a stop. What could be causing this?

I've had the car for about 3 years, I've replaced coils & spark plugs. The car starts fine and the cel is off.

Also, sometimes when I'm in low gears, 2-3, in high rpms, 5k-6k, the coolant light will come on and turn offs when I get the car to a higher gear and lower rpms. I've read the coolant bottle has trouble with the buoyancy and getting a new one will fix this issue? Just wanted to throw that in there.

I don't quite remember, but it was at least 1 year ago. I drove it some more today and at a stoplight it turned off again & took me another 10 mins or so to turn it back on. Also when driving it I noticed some powerloss & when the car approached 5k-6k I heard this loud noise. Not sure how to describe the noise, but it was almost like a screeching or sparks noise.

Yeah, I'd take it in for a compression test.

It's a sensor problem. You need to replace the whole coolant bottle to fix the issue.
