    Hey guys,

    My GT coupe for some reason keeps wanting to shut off when I'm driving and it is not good. It has happened to me numerous times. I have taken it to Pontiac and since the car doesn't have a check engine light on, they can't find anything and says it's fine even after testing and keeping it for a couple of days. What should I do? I'm thinking of selling it cause I don't like driving it knowing that ant any moment it will shut off

    Crank Position Sensor can make it do that. I would try replaceing it, also does the rpm gauge ever drop to zero while driving, if it does the CPS needs to be replaced.
