    Hello again forum, it's been awhile since my last post, but as the life of my GTP progresses I find myself time and time again coming here, lurking the site...

    I have experienced 3 random stalls in the past year and 2 of them with-in a weeks time...

    I have read many things about the crank position sensor being the culprit 90% of the time, and others being MAF, bad battery/alt, fuel....

    Also, when I experience the stall, it has been while not moving, idling at either a light or in traffic...

    I have read somewhere if a battery is old, it can cause stall issues....Is this correct??

    I have a 4 year old battery that looks failry beat...(wet)

    The reason for my posting is that as life progesses, I have less and less time to research/repair/experiment on my vehicle...

    Just looking for some quick pointers to I can head in a semi straight direction before chewing up my time going on a not so straight direction...

    I can and will (if needed) bust out the cps, but I would really like to test a few things before going loco...

    Should I just unplug the MAF and drive to rule out the MAF?

    How old is considered "old" on a car battery?

    If heading down the cps route, I have the fsm, so I would just need time and tools...I would need a puller for the crank pulley, correct?

    I read also I need some bolts from Ace so to use the puller correctly? Anyone shed some light on this for me?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

    This problem is a TSB. The negative stud on the frame rail also corrodes heavily.

    cleaning the TB is also a good place to start.

    the battery should have a date on it showing how many months its life is. 4 years it could be at the end of its life span. a parts store can test it for you.
