    I have a 2000 gtp with around 165,000 miles on it. The other day driving down the road the car just stalls on me, like someone turned the key back, no studdering or anything. I pull onto the side road and 2 minutes later it starts right back up. About 2 miles down the road it died again and started right back up. I have a p0102 code which I think is for the vacuum and MAF but i have had that code come and go for years. Reading through the forums I am thinking it might be the crankshaft position sensor but I wanted to check here first for any other possible ideas. Also would a bad MAF cause it to stall? I disconnected the MAF and started and drove the car with no big difference so I am thinking that is ok.

    Also we changed the fuel filter and tested the fuel pressure thinking it might be the fuel pump. We had good fuel pressure when it was cold and warm.

    Thanks for the help!

    Here's the update! The other day it stalled again two times within a mile, but it wouldn't start back up this time. It did eventually start again but by this time the tow truck was on the way. Had it hauled to the local shop where he tested the MAF and said it was bad. I replaced the MAF and all ses codes went away. Things ran good for a day but today it stalled on me 3 more times. I was able to drive it home and park it, but no codes this time. I am leaning towards replacing the Crank Position Sensor next. Is there a good way to test this to see if it is bad before replacing? I am thinking it will be tough due to the issue only happening randomly.

    Thanks Again!
