    Hi All, I have a 93 intrepid with the 3.5l engine that randomly cuts out on
    me. It doesn't fade like if its losing gas.
    Things I have done to it recently that have not helped
    Cleaned the throttle body.
    Cleaned the TPS
    Changed the fuel filter
    Replaced a leaky fuel line
    changed the cam sensor
    It still stalls randomly.
    The only thing in common is that it happens during the day when it is hot
    out. In the evenings when I get home from work it rarely happens
    Any ideas? Crank sensor maybe?
    Thanks

    Our 93 3.5 has had two annoying bouts of random stalling. First time was
    the crank sensor (no codes set). The second time it was a bad connection
    at the MAP sensor, which finally did set a code.

    They could cause random stalling?

    I'm leaning towards the crank sensor I think

    Crank sensor maybe, failing fuel pump or possibly ignition switch needs
    replacing..

    6-8 months ago along a period of a week or two..my 95 Intrepid 3.3
    169000 miles would just die cruising on the hwy..when cruising all dash
    lights would come on and car would immediately die..most times would
    restart immediately..

    Had a spare crank and cam sensors..replaced them but didn't solve problem..

    Took it into shop and they diagnosed it as a failing fuel pump..Replaced
    it and still same problems..

    I did a google search and saw several posts on flaky ignition switch..

    Replace it then; now have 179000 miles and no further problems
    immediately after replacing switch..

    I know my ignition key is worn down quite a bit. That may be something to
    look at
    Thanks

    Just curious how much it cost you to change your ignition switch? I
    have a 93 Intrepid 3.3L with a similar problem. A lot of times my car
    will start and run just fine, however, all my dash gages, idiot lights,
    tach, spedo, fuel, etc... are all dead. headlights, interior lights,
    radio, & accessories work just fine. Wonder if I need a new ignition
    switch? Thanks for any info you may have.
