Whats up bro, i see your in the bay area, is that the san francisco bay area, im in martinez, ca. Okay, how many miles does your SHO have? If you didnt do your 60k service it might be your crank posistion sensor. I would have a SHO mechanic look at it. Im going to get my 60k service done by nick chrimes, his email is [email protected]. But i think you may have more luck calling him at (408) 264-6474. I hope you can get it sorted out. You can email me if you want at [email protected].

If it condition happens again, watch the tachometer. If the tach drops immediately to zero, it means the feed signal has been lost and the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) is most likely failing. You can get the Wells SU242 CPS from AutoZone for $42.99. It's the labor to replace it that runs up the expense. It requires the accessory belt and pulleys to be removed, along with the crankshaft damper and timing belt covers and, with the 3.2L, possibly the water pump to help route the wiring. This is why replacing this component during the timing belt service is a great idea.

JUST MY TWO CENTS. BEFORE YOU REPLACE ANYTHING JUST CHECK YOUR PLUGS TO SEE IF THEY ARE FOULED WITH OIL. I HAD THE SAME STALLING PROBLEM ON BOTH MY 91 AND 95, THAT TURNED OUT TO BE FOULED PLUGS. A LITTLE RTV SEALANT AROUND THE PLUG WELLS CURED THEM BOTH. IF NOT I GUESS CPS
