2 times in the last month I have had my car simply shut off and not restart for a bit. Once I was turning on a busy road a BAM dies wont start. Just today I left it running while running in to grab a pop, came out and BAM died but restarted after like 10 mins. A cool old guy said was prolly a fuel censor getting too hot. Please help anyone.

First, there is no such thing as a fuel sensor. However, it could be caused by other sensors or a faulty fuel pump. Has the check engine light ever come on? Also, when this happens and it doesn't restart, have you been able to check for spark and fuel to the engine?

Let me know.
