Stalls when driving, EPC and oil indicators
Volkswagen Jetta 2002 168000 miles
I have a Jetta A 4 2002 and, when driving, it suddenly jerks, EPC and oil indicators turn on and it loses power until it stalls. I try to speed it up but it won't answer properly. Only after 20-30 minutes the engine will start again. The car has been tuned, the battery, oil pump and air sensor changed but it keeps doing the same thing. Can anyone help me? It really worries me when I'm driving and it suddenly stalls.

Check the electronic acceleration body, that is what the indicators mean.

Problem with my car 
Solved
Volkswagen Jetta 2001 120000 miles
I own a standard Jetta 1.8T 2001 and, after perfectly starting the car and changing from first to second gear, EPC and ASR indicators turn on. I stop the car and it is not stable enough, revolutions go up and down. I then turn off the car, start it again and the same problem appears. Occasionally, after a while of driving and braking, the car stalls. Filters and spark plugs have been checked, injectors cleaned but everything is still the same. Could you please help me? It is really worrying and even dangerous. Thank you.

Best answer (according to Liley68)
In case someone has my same problem, this was the solution to my problem: acceleration body cleanse, coils harness replacement and engine relay change (N° 428), which is located behind the MAF sensor, right next to the fire wall. Hope it helps someone.
I have slightly the same problem. At 200km/h the vehicle engine light start flashing then the EPC light appears from there the car looses power unless I stop nd switch it off then start again.
