I will let her know that we need to get the codes scanned shortly after the next time she has a problem. The fuel filter hasn't been replaced. We did discuss replacing it, but I advised her that while it's a great idea to take care of it, it is not going to solve this issue. In my experience, if a fuel filter is dirty enough to cause a no start issue it will always cause driveability issues as well. The quick stall at a stop light isn't indicative of a fuel filter, but more-so a faulty electrical connection or failing component that will eventually stop working at all. The ignition switch does seem to be a common thought among people I've talked to, but nobody can substantiate that hunch and I'm not comfortable charging her $35 an hour to replace a $100 part that might not fix the problem. In regards to the ignition switch, I can't understand how it could be the problem considering: the same switch contact turns on the ignition and the fuel pump, the fuel pump turns on, and the engine cranks.
Thank you all for the ideas, please keep brainstorming with me.
