Pep Boys has diagnosed the problem to either crankshaft sensor ($550 to replace) or computer (>$800 to replace). Is their diagnostic equipment adequate? They say their equipment shows them that the crank sensor signal is intermittently dropping out but they can't isolate it to less than two possibilities. Do I need to take the computer or the whole car to the dealer? Your suggestions? BTW the computer was replaced 4 years ago and fixed a starting problem (could computer be under warrantee?). No sensors have been replaced.
