replace your engine crank position sensor ,u may have a sensor going bad

Crank Position Sensor huh?

hmm... check coolant/fans/radiator? Maybe it overheats and shuts off to save the engine? I dunno, just trying to think what could be causing a random shutoff like that.

Does it just stall and feels like it struggles to keep the idle or just completely shuts off on the spot?
