97 S-10 Engine Stall

My 97 S-10 V/6 with 70,000 miles has been doing weird things:
1. If idling in my driveway with doors unlocked, engine dies and
electric door locks slide to the lock position. I'm locked out.
2. While driving at any speed engine stalls, door buzzer comes on,
gauges go down to zero, door locks go off and on.....then
immediatley engine starts on it's own and I am on my way again.
3. When idling at stop light or in traffic, engine dies, door locks go
nuts, buzzer come on, dash lights come on. I have to key start
motor.....it then will die one or two times more.
4. After driving for some time and then shut off engine....it is very
hard starting. Must crank for long time.
5. Sometimes windshield wipers do not work. Like in the rain.
6. When engine stalls at high speed....it starts up on it's own. When
engine dies at idle, I have to manually start motor.

Anyone with an answer before I dump a load of $$$ at dealer who doesn't have clue. Or maybe a Catholic priest and an exorcism!!
Thanks from the end of the world! :banghead:

Your wiper problem is most likely the wiper motor module.The other problems you have is just plain weird.
