Driving home today my gtp died about a block from home. Was able to coast to my house. Right before it died it lost power, the traction control light came on and it shuttered pretty bad. Then check gauges came on. After i parked it, i was able to start it and it sounded normal. The low coolant has been coming on periodically, but it has coolant and no leaks. Also the traction control has flashed a couple times. There was no overheating and nothing else out of the ordinary. Any guesses? Going to plug the scanner in later to see if there seed any codes.

Hooked the scanner to it... No codes stored!. Starts and runs fine. No check gauges or check engine light. Scan gauge shows 14.1 volts. I'm stumped... And afraid to drive it anywhere!

Did you happen to notice if the tach dropped to zero before it died? I'm thinking crank position sensor if all else checks out.
 


Could also be fuel system. My factory fuel sending unit broke off in the tank and migrated around the tank for a few weeks before I figured it out. I thought I just had a wonky fuel level sensor.
 
So, I had let this vehicle sit for a couple months, due to no time tear into it. Got on it this weekend and replaced the Crank position sensor. Driven for 2 days now with no issue. I'm pretty confident that was it. Just wanted to update this thread in case someone with a similar problem comes across it in a search. The low coolant sensor is a separate issue and I'm sure a new sensor will fix that as well.
