Symptoms vary. You can have a no start condition where the engine doesn't fire up. No spark. Hopefully a crank sensor DTC(s) shows up on a scan tool.

On the Series II or III 3800 NA or supercharged engines you could get a random stall condition in most cases very intermittent. Most of the time no DTC(s) will show. Other symptoms is the tach dips or drops to zero right before the stall and the TRAC OFF light comes on.
