Hi,
Recently I've noticed my car just stalls and all the electrical components reset. What gives? Anyone have this happen? I just replaced my fuel filter, thinking that needed changing, but the stalling happened again. It doesn't do it very often, but it sure is weird.
I also had the car SE light indicate that the Crank Shaft Position sensor was sending a code. The car runs fine, shifts a little rough into 4th sometimes, but everything seems okay, fluid levels are fine and I just had the tran. fluid changed. Any ideas?

Reset as in you have to reprogram the radio time etc.. or as in the car shuts of and comes back on?

Sounds a lot like a ground issue with the electrical system.. Check all of the grounds you can find, start under the hood...
