I'm having problems with my 02 Ford Taurus cutting off like its not getting gas. Once I get off my brakes it cut off but will crank back up. It does it about 2 or 3 times while I'm driving. The machanic changed the crank shaft position sensor because it was making a loud noise; he also changed the fuel filter. Thought that was the problem but it continued to cut off. Please help! Thanking you in advanced!

There are many sensors that could cause this. Has the check engine light come on? With the new crank sensor, has the noise stopped?
