Suddenly stalls problems

Many failures SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Jetta 1999  135000 miles
The first failure in my car appeared from one day to the other. It was working perfectly one night, but the following morning it wouldn't start.

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.
