Cant tell from here, but a main suspect would be your Main Relay. When they get old, the solder inside the relay cracks during operation due to electrical heat, and when it temporarily fails it shuts the car off. Waiting for a while to restart your car is the only option, until you either re-solder the relay or buy a new one. New main relays usually cost between $25-$90.
it gets of bcoz now its a old car so bfor you ignite the engine of the ac switch nd everything nd then ignite the vehicle nd wait for 5 min nd start moving whn the rpm reaches 1000
My car kept turn off while driving
Be sure to check the ground between the engine and the frame. When the break, fall off or whatever, they cause all sorts of weird problems. Also check the smaller wires that attach to your battery. If they are loose, it might start, and run and then not. Good luck.

I have a 2012 Camry at about 200k km that will shut off, especially during turning. It will restart immediately once turn off and restart. My issue was due to low engine oil that lead to low engine pressure, thus cause the engine shut off. I never have to top up engine oil between oil change interval, but the engine must have consumed the engine oil from my previous oil change. In reading up various sources, the issue is typical for Camry engine around the 200km mark potentially due to build up in the piston of the engine and resulted oil leak. Solution: I treated the engine 2 times with 1 full can of Seafoam with empty can each time while monitoring the engine oil periodically. i have to top up the engine oil 2 times and have not needing to top up for 3 months now. 2012 Camry engine shut off while driving - check engine oil, if engine is consuming engine oil, treat with Seafoam to resolve engine oil burning issue. Good luck!
