I have a 1996 Oldsmobile Achieva, and sometimes it wont start or it will shut off on my while im driving? I have no idea why it does this, and im really concerned. I think it might be the crankshaft sensor but i just need another opinion.

Hi:
It sounds like it could be a problem with the ignition module. However, I recommend you have the computer scanned for trouble codes. Most nationally recognized parts stores will do it for free.

Let me know what you find.
