All the lights on the dash flicker, then light up, and then the engine stalls. It doesn't stall every time the lights flicker on the dash. It always starts back up. It has stalled while idling as well as while driving. The crank sensor was recently replaced.

We tried this out. Cleaned the battery terminals and the ground, and the fuse block box, and we are still having the same problem. the battery is only a year old. Any other ideas? we also grounded the battery to the engine to see if the engine was properly grounded, and it was.
