1993 SE dying in the middle of driving!
Help! I'm driving my beloved Bonneville SE V-6 down a half-circle off ramp of I-95 and it dies half way down the ramp! It loses all engine power, but the electronics stay on. I struggle with the loss of power steering and sit under the overpass. I restart the car in less than 2 minutes and I'm off and running! This has happened 4 times in the past 3 months. So, I take it to the "dealer" yesterday and they replace the crank sensor for a whopping total of $300.00! I drive it this morning, pull into the Mobile to get gas and boom it dies! My blood has boiled over! It starts again and I take it back to the dealer - obviously they can't figure out what'* wrong....does anybody out there know or have had the same problem?

How much gas was in your tank? Some 92 tanks (maybe 93 got a few) had bad gas tanks, and they can kill when turning and yuou have less then 1/4 tank.
When was your car built? (check the sticker in the drivers door)
