gtp stalling

i have a 98 gtp that stalls at times,with 73,000 on the clock..there is a new crank position sensor,a new module for the coil packs,a new computer.the car will run good for about 3-5 days and then it just stalls, driving at hi-way speeds,sitting at a stop light..there is no code,no warning at all.i had it hooked up to a scanner for 2.5 hrs,everything is normal.all the grounds are ok,all the connections are ok,the fuel system is fine....i am at my wits end!! i hate to get rid of it because i can not drive a unreliable car...maybe somebody can help.........thanks

Re: gtp stalling

just a quick thought...have you checked the battery cable connections at the battery? Sometimes corrosion on the terminals can cause that. Also, make sure that the positive lead bolted on to that big fuse box in the engine bay is not touching the rubber shields. That can do it too...

Re: gtp stalling

Sounds like same problem as mine. See 2000 GTP stalls out. Is this what you are experiencing?
