Cool 96 Grand Am starts and stops

Hi having problem with my 96 Grand Am filled it up with gas the other day when i went to pull out of gas station car died. I let it sit for a couple minutes and it started back up i then decided to try to make it to work and it died 10 miles down the road while on the freeway it just shut dow na and i coasted to the side I sat again for 20 min and car started. I then made it to work and back home aprox 65 miles no problems. I put in some Seafoam thinkin maybe fuel injectors were dirty drove to work and back couple days later no problem which is about 80 miles. The next day stopped to get cigs left the car running came back out went a block car died again it then started and headed back home made it 2 miles car died again started 10 min later and made it home Anyone have a clue what this could be? I was told maybe Crank Sensor ?

Re: 96 Grand Am starts and stops

possibly water in fuel since you said it started when you filled it up.

Re: 96 Grand Am starts and stops

I agree that it could be your crank sensor, during the time that it isn't starting(you said it cranked after sitting 20 minutes), check to see if you are getting spark.

Welcome to AF CHRISTINE88 !

What engine does your GA have ?
Did you fill your gas tank completely full?
Are their any instrument panel lights on or flashing when it dies or wont start?
