Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: 1992 Olds Cutlass Ciera stalls randomly, olds cutlass ciera, olds cutlass


Question
About a month ago my '92 Cutlass Ciera started stalling randomly. Every time it happened it would restart after letting it sit for anywhere from 5-45 minutes. The problem seems pretty random, since it has no relation to acceleration, braking, weather, etc. The car has fuel and the fuel pump can be heard. I know that when the engine stalls when it's not getting a spark. I tested the ignition module and coils at the auto parts store and I know that when the problem occurs the ignition module is still getting power. Also, there does not seem to be a problem with the ignition switch. The fact the problem is intermittent makes it hard to test, but any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
J.R.

Answer
Not my best area, but just because the module tests good, doesn't mean it isn't the intermittent problem. Could be heat related, and by the time you get it to the parts store, it is cool.
A crankshaft, or camshaft position sensor is another possibility.
