Engine stalls random, then restarts after a few minutes. Replace crank position sensor.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

The first thing I need you to do is check for diagnostic trouble codes. This has an OBD1 system and you can check it at home. All that is needed is a short jumper wire or even a paper clip.

Follow the directions in this link and let me know the results.

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,
Joe
