hesitating then dies

[putskijr]

okay here's whats up. got a 98 gtp and the whole winter it never acted up till the weather warmed up yesterday. I was driving around since it was nice out and after a stoplight the motor would hesitate to run and would spit and sputter. so i threw her in neutral and shut it off, waited a few seconds then turned it back on and away she went. It still does it tho a few minutes later or if im at another stop light. is goin on???? Possibly MAF? any ideas anyone? I want to get it fixed asap cuz its embarrassing to see a gp in the middle of traffic not moving! thanks

ever done your crank sensor? mine would randomely die and randomely not start before i changed my crank sensor

[putskijr]

nope never replaced that, i just put new plugs wires and a pcv valve in it tho, and im still gettin ****ty gas mileage

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

other gas milage dealio stuff are o2 sensor's

i thought the cam sensor controlled engine fire and the crank was only for the gauges...get a scan guy to know for sure..there are a few things that could cause this and instead of randomly replacing parts save a ton of money and know for sure

also check fuel pressure as with that mileage your pump may be on the verge

crank sensor is used to determine fueling and such along with the tach
basically when your crank sensor stops working its telling your computer the motor is not moving therefore it wont deliver any fuel or spark thus the motor dying.

okay cause mine went out and even through the code for the crank sensor a few years back and the car ran just fine but the tach didnt work...after replacement the tach worked fine so i just assumed the cam sensor controlled all that

my tach would randomely stop working...mine never threw a code
