    It happened twice today. Once about 1 week ago and another time a week before that. I could be pulling away from a light and it'll just cut-off or i'll be driving down the road right in the middle of traffic...same thing. I believe it's electrical because it doesn't sputter or anything close to it. It just stops. I was thinking crank sensor but i would think it would have stop working by now or happen more frequently. I replaced it about eight years ago. The symptoms are about the same but i'm thinking it's something else.
