    Car is a 97 GTP BONE STOCK Hasn't thrown any codes.

    This is the second time it hasn't wanted to start. However, if I let it sit for like 5-10 minutes it'll start right up.
    My tach has shut off twice while driving and it also "twitches" when the key is on but the car is not running. Is the "twitching" normal? Obviously the tach shutting off is not. It also kind of "chugs" when cruising at like 55 and lightly accelerating or going up a hill.
    My question is could it be my crank sensor acting up, telling the computer the motor isn't turning, therefore not delivering any spark? It's about my best guess since the tach has shut off twice randomly and we also looked at another GTP that had a code for a crank sensor.

    Thanks in advance guys!
