There's no sputtering or rough idle or anything...it just dies. Both times it's happened I've been in the middle of a turn and boom....just dead. Both times it's done it, it has started back up immediatley and has run without problem after that. It's not throwing any codes, except that stupid crank position sensor (which isn't even throwing a code I just know it's bad from the one time it did). Any ideas?

Now you are wondering why your car isn't running right? Why don't you fix the crank position sensor and see if the car stops stalling. You could also look into your MAF sensor. When was the last time your car had a tune up? __________________________________________________ "Rock it 'til the wheels fall off" '02 Silvermist GTP Coupe.

And no, I never said that I didn't intend on changing it. I don't mean to sound like a dick nor do I want to look ill informed. I know it's something that needs to be done, I just don't have the equipment to change it myself and wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions as to what could be the problem before I spent a fortune at the dealership chasing the problem, that's all. I'll check the MAF sensor anyway....what is it that you all use to clean it? As for a tune up, I changed the plugs and wires about two weeks ago, the oil about a month and a half ago, and the air filter about 3 months ago. Also, I just want to mention that the car has never, and I mean literally never, stalled before the past couple of days....

I checked my local Advance Auto and they have BWD, Niehoff, and Standard Motor Products. I could have sworn I saw an official GM/Delco on one of our aftermarket sites, but I can't find it now.

It was suggested not to spray the cleaner directly onto the metal bars, but to instead spray the q-tip and wipe down the bars. __________________________________________________ "Rock it 'til the wheels fall off" '02 Silvermist GTP Coupe.

We it happens next if it is related it will signal a DTC. For giggles does either of your fuel pump relays in the under hood fuel panel feel excessively hot after you drive it for a while? Try moving the wire harness that comes up from the CPS and see if you can get the code to set again. 99GTP, SEDAN, 191K,GEN V, N,LQ4, XP CAM, 90# SPRINGS, MOD RETAINERS, ROLLMASTER, BOSCH 42.5's, MSD WIRES, A103'S, CERAMIC TOGS, RES&CAT DELETE, 180 STAT, MPS, WIZAIR, HAPPY KNOB, DHP POWERTUNER, SPO TIPS, GMPP SPRINGS/STRUTS, RAT DOG BONES, POLY UPPERS, NAPA SOLID MOTOR AND TRANS MOUNTS, FP REWIRE, MANUAL FAN SWITCH 12.91 @ 108.20 on motor 2007 additions>>GenV, ZZP tranny w/ 3.29's and 2750,QTP slicks, RASK, and the Nitrous is nowready! 2008 mods: Trannyman Dave Norris full race trans wickedperformance@comcast.net

Thats what I get for not waiting for the k&n filter oil to fully dry before re-installing. Had no time, I was leaving for norwalk the following morning. __________________________________________________ "Rock it 'til the wheels fall off" '02 Silvermist GTP Coupe.

Try the standard motor products or whatever one fits into your budget. ZZP has the MAF sensors; http://www.zzperformance....prix/products1.php?id=378 It says, "out of stock", but that was like 6 months ago. I would give them a call and see if they have more in stock now. __________________________________________________ "Rock it 'til the wheels fall off" '02 Silvermist GTP Coupe.
