I HAVE REPLACED MY PLUGS, PLUGWIRES, AIR FILTER, FUEL FILTER AND IGNITION COILS. WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. WHEN HOOKED UP TO THE MACHINE IT SAYS IT IS A #6 MISFIRE AND A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. COULD THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR MAKE MY CAR SHUT OFF? ALSO, ONE AUTOPARTS DEALER SAID IT COULD BE MY DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ANOTHER DEALER SAID MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE A DISTRIBUTOR CAP? WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF SOMETIMES IT WILL CRANK RIGHT UP AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT A WHILE. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH ANY VALUABLE INFORMATION YOU MIGHT HAVE?
