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.

Engine fild

Volkswagen Jetta 2007 Body 286000 miles
Under heavy acceleration, when the RPM reaches 5,000, the car loses power and goes into limp mode. The EPC and Traction Control lights turn on. When this happens, the transmission stops shifting and jerks or stutters a few times. Note: The car originally had a 1.6L engine, but it has been swapped with a 2.0L engine. However, the original 1.6L ECU (Computer) and wiring harness have not been changed. "

I think what you thought you didn't need to do. You should have when you changed the engine. That's a tuff one to help with without taking a look and sticking it on a diagnostic machine. Keep reves at 4000 and get it to a mechanic.

EPC light will come on.

Volkswagen Jetta 2014 4 door sedan/ 1.8L turbo  149000 miles
For the last 5 years the EPC light on my jetta will randomly come on. At first it would happen most when it got hotter outside, but if I turned the car off the light would turn off. I have taken it to 4 different mechanics including the dealership. They run the test and tell me what codes come up and what they mean. They fix what they say is the problem, but 3-4 months later the light would come back on. So now 5 years later it's to the point that if it's really hot outside my car will jerk and will cut off if I'm stopped. If my foot is on the gas when this happens the EPC light will come on along with the traction light and tire pressure light. Can anyone tell me what needs to be fix because none of the shop have figure it out.

What have they told you when you took it to a mechanic? I pretty much get the same thing but last time it was time for me to get a tune up but it went right back the way it was after I got an oil change
