I am a Home grown mechanic - retired & have learned computer systems. yet!!- Not extremely experienced daily with them! I bought a 2003 saturn vue for daughter. Seller did great maintaence on it 1 ownwe since new. The car (owner had same problem) will start & drive fine as should. Within 4-6 miles (heat) engine will shut off -just like key is turned off! I have actually restarted the engine while still rolling to a stop in neutral! whll do same -sometimes soon & sometimes after a few miles again!. NO CODES!! EVER!! I did replace the Crankshaft sensor(from experiences in past) still the same condition! On live scan - all looks great till engine stops! I am leaning toward replacing the ECM - engines computer. Your take on all this? Thanx.

When it dies and wont start looking at the rpm readings on the code reader while cranking are rpm reading showing steady and not coming and going?Also all the ecms i have replaced on those cars when they wouldn't start you couldn't talk to the ecm with the code reader/scan tool.
