As I'm driving down the street and no given time, it just shuts off always starts up right back up. I maybe can go a block and it will shut off again. I've had the ignition completely replaced.

Hi,

What it sounds like is a faulty crankshaft position sensor. Has anyone checked or replaced it?

Take a look through this link and let me know if you feel anything mirrors what you have experienced. Additionally, let me know if the check engine light is staying on while the engine is running.

Let me know your thoughts. Also, let me know if anyone has checked the fuel pressure.

Take care,

Joe
