    I was driving home from work tonight and my car shut off, I believe it was the ignition switch problem but I checked the recall sight and my car doesn't have it according to the site. I suspect it to be this because I was able to pull off the road safely and throw it in park and restart it.

    If the tach dropped to zero just before the motor cut off, it's going to be a failing crank sensor.

    What year GP? My 2000 GTP did the same thing, ended up being that poorly placed fuel pump resistor up inside the right fender well. If that's it, GM put out a kit to replace/remount that to firewall, $35 rockauto.
    THANKS!

    An ICM going bad can also cause that to happen.
