Lori,

Can you give more symptoms?

The SRS light should stay on a couple of seconds longer than the others, so I'm not sure that is an issue.

When the engine shuts off, is it running but not powering the transmission? Do all the dash lights come on? Does the tachometer go to zero?

Several things could cause the engine to just shut off quickly. Most are electrical in nature - things like fuel relays cutting out, ignition coils with intermittent shorts, bad ignition switches, etc. Engines that cut out slowly (like it's choking) are usually problems with the fuel delivery - water in the fuel, low fuel pressure, etc.

If you could provide more symptoms, I'll try to help...Glen
