Hi,

Please correct if I misread your cluster.

When the engine stops I think I see the following in order:

-The instrument illumination decreases.
-The red-top (battery?) comes ON.
-Shortly after the left red light (?) and the oil pressure indicator come ON.
-And finaly the orange "check engine" comes ON (normal, there is no more pulses from the stopped crankshaft)

I would start by measuring voltage at battery terminals at stop, idle and WOT. Must be between 12.8v and 14.8V.
The crankshaft and camshaft sensors would be my last preoccupations.

hook a scantool up to it and monitor the data when the car stalls. Also if it doesnt restart see if there are any codes or if you have spark.
