I'm having a situation w/ a 2004 w/ the 3.2L It randomly "shuts down" for a second, then will usually just fire back up on it's own (all I notice is the sudden power loss and gauge warning lights come on briefly) . If it does completely stall, I can throw it into Neutral, and restart w/ key, then seems fine for rest of journey. I have noticed that this will only happen within the first 1/2 mile or so after a cold start. It has yet to stall after this distance or it engine still warm from an earlier drive.

No Check Engine codes...

I've replaced the fuel filter, pump regulator and fuel pump, but still happening... Fresh "name brand" fuel was also put in since these changes (it always gets name-brand, but used a different gas station just in case...)

Thanks for any info...

 

If anyone else experiences this issue, it ended up being a crankshaft position sensor. Oil got into the contact (from valve covers). Was able to get away with cleaning at first, but eventually had to change sensor. It's a daily-driver and has been over a month now with no issues...
