Greetings,
My car has been cutting off randomly the past couple of months. I have 81k miles on it. I change the oil every 3k miles and keep all the fluids in check. I use 93 octane gas (I initially thought that was the issue at first...forgive my lack of knowledge of cars, I'm learning). The car is a 2007 Grand Prix GT, 3.8 Supercharged. It's not getting hot, the temp gauge is usually only just above the 1/4 mark. It's not throwing codes. I bought a reader and it didn't throw anything even after it just randomly cut off. I've taken it to the dealership and after 4 hours, they told me that they couldn't find anything. It's not losing power when it cuts off, all lights on the dash, AC, radio, stay on when it cuts off. Most of the time the engine will start right back up after cutting off, occasionally I have to let it sit for a few minutes before it will start. It turns over just fine after cutting over and like I said before, most of the time it starts right back up. Every time I start it I turn the key on, wait about 4 seconds and start the engine. There isn't really any consistent condition it cuts off in either, it's done it when I'm on the gas, it's done it sitting at a stop light, it's done it when I'm just coasting. I'm at a loss and was wondering if anyone has any input or suggestions.
Thanks!
