My car is an 3800 series 2 engine.V6 of course while im driving the engine just cuts off for no reason. No codes have came on the dash I took it to dealer they say they couldnt get it to cut off.I just relace cool pack 3 an 6, a new crank sensor, cause a piston# 6 was misfiring. Could it be my ignition coil. The car heat an radio still be on but the engine cuts while im driving like its over heating or something. Then after it cuts off I wait 5minutes an the car stars right back up. PLEASE I NEED HELP SOMEONE.

Check and monitor the fuel pressure make sure its within specs. Check cyl no.6 compression/injector

Misfires can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
