Re: 94 Regal 3.8 - Engine Shuts Off While Driving
The two most common causes of your symptoms are a bad crankshaft position sensor and a bad ECM. The windings in the crank sensor will short out as they heat up and will start working again once the cool down, then the whole cycle starts over. The ECM's in these cars are mounted under the hood, and are subjected to the elements. They can suffer from internal corrosion and water intrusion issues that will also cause a sudden stall, wait, start back up, repeat cycle also. If the OEM service number on your ECM is 1227727, that is the one most notorious for the water intrusion issues.
