I have a 92 pontiac grand am V6 that stalls out a couple of times a week and then it will fire back up and it's ok for a day or so I am thinking it could be a crank positon sensor going out dose any body have any sugestions.

Is there any pattern to when it stalls? Is it a complete stall while in motion? On the freeway? At stop lights? -- This could be so many things more information would help narrow it down.

It stalls backing up going forward I put in neutral and it fires back up. There is no real pattern. It dose it when its cold or hot coming to a stop light.

We had a customer come in 3 months ago that spent over 1100.00 on replacing all sensors, and coil packs. His did the exact same thing it would die at any giving time.

He brought the car to use and we hooked up a fuel gauge and drove the car for 4 days before it finnaly died on us but it was the fuel pump shutting off. We replaced the fuel pump and problem was solved.
