Lost ignition while driving

[jkichline]

Hey guys,
I just got a 91 SHO in December. It needs a couple things but overall is a pretty nice car. This morning on my way to work, the ignition died like somebody hit the **** switch. I couldn't get it started again for about a half hour. After it started, I drove the rest of the way to work without any problems which is about 18 more miles from where I broke down. This is the only car that I have that doesn't have a cap and rotor so I don't know much about how its supposed to fire. I was thinking that I may have lost fuel pressure which threw a sensor or something. I did get a check engine light when it cut out, but the light turned off when I finally got it started again. I'm going to read the code tonight on the way home from work. A couple days ago, the exact thing happened but I only lost power for less than one second and it fired right back up. It was near the same place I was this morning. It seems like it could be time/temperature related. Last night I drove 200 miles without even a stutter. Any ideas? I'd appreciate it. Thanks!!

P.S. I also posted this exact same message in performance upgrades by mistake.

sounds like your Crank Shaft Position sensor went kaput. A common problem. Fuel pump would have felt similar and is easy to check by looking at the pressure at the fuel rail....35 to 40 psi at key on and at engine running.
