99 tl sudden engine shut down

99 tl - the engine has suddenly shut down - at low speeds, fortunately, then restarted immediately once shifted into neutral.

What's up?

Do any of your dash lights (CEL,TCS) stay on when the engine quits?
If no then its your ignition switch.

carry many keys on the ring?
99s especially prone to the ignition switch to fail
a recall replaced it once- make sure yours was done 1 800 382 2238x5 with VIN
after that its on you! see diy links provided above
a few other threads have same failure,,someone will post a price but call local parts store, don't need dealer part

if switch is bad it will have burn/black marks inside/backside, drip out metal shavings of damaged contacts and more

Wiggle the keys , does that make it happen?
