What I recommend is to have the computer scanned for trouble codes. There really isn't anything with the CC itself that should shut the engine, so anything I say would be a guess. Most parts stores will scan the computer for free.

Most likely to be an electrical issue here and the ignition switch would be the prime suspect.
