MasterThis is one of the more difficult problems to diagnose. The hard part comes in trying to duplicate the problem and then diagnosing it before it "fixes" itself. If there are no codes stored in the engine computer, then I start looking at the fuel supply. Fuel pump, fuel pump relay, stuff like that.

Visitor, June 08, 2010, 05:48I had this problem. It would be running and suddenly die at turning in or at a stop light. At a Chrysler dealer they tried to tell me it was the main computer board. A 3000.00 fix. Which it was not. I have also had it to die driving down the road which is extremely dangerous. It was a relay. The contacts in the relay are not connecting. I bought a new one which was around 300.00 and it pops in. Never had another problem. I hope you found your answer. I see it has been a while since you posted.

EnthusiastHi I'm from Albany, GA and just bought my 2004 Crossfire 4/2010. Could not drive it for 2 wks because of this problem. It was the crank shaft sensor. I found this repair on the Crossfire forum. A lot of good info there.
Been running great ever since.Flag ThisLike | 8 people like this8 -

Visitor, July 24, 2010, 11:44ReplyIt's your Relay on the Right side Relay/PCM box. Its called a Engine Management Relay Part # 5099007AA. It took me two week to figure out this Customers problem at the dealership. it would die out while driving or if they stopped at a store it would not start unless it sat for a hour or so.

Visitor, October 02, 2010, 15:08ReplyHow much is a crank shaft sensor? I was having the same problem so I replaced the relay for $300. I have to tow my car to the dealership to get it reset before the car will even start but now i'm wondering if the relay was not the problem in the first place. Hopefully it wont shut down again while driving it. :/
