Okay, it started as stall coming to red light. So I stop and she cranked right over. Then it starting stalling a bit more and I took to a shop and he put computer on it and said I needed a crankshaft position sensor/speed sensor. Okay, changed that car drove fine for about eight hours and it stalled again. I brought it back and no codes came up . So he checked my fuel pump pressure and it was good, he changed my fuel pump relay . Same thing drove like normal then just stalled out took about five minutes to get going brought her back to shop and he is telling my he has to take out the fuse box sounds electrical? Any intake on this?

This sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor even though there is no code for it (there usually is not when this sensor goes bad) this is what I would replace. Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when doing the job:

They call it an engine speed sensor which is the same thing.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers
