    Hey quick question if anyone has any ideas lemme know.
    So i was driving the other day to work, and my gtp suddenly shut off, the engine shut down, the power steering went out, and on my HUD it said "check gauges". I pulled over and started it up again and it was fine for alittle, then it happend again, but it didn't start up right away this time, i had to try it twice. Ive only driven it alittle since then and its been fine. It starts up okay now as far as i can tell. Alternator maybe? Any ideas?

    Crank sensor.

    I'd bet atleast 3 dollars on it.
