2002 CHEVROLET 2500 HD 8.1 LITER V-8 GAS ENGINE, ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE, WILL RESTART SOMETIMES WHILE STILL ROLLING AND SOMETIMES TAKES 30 MINUTES TO RESTART. *TR

THE CAR WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AS I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AFTER SHOPPING. THE ENGINE WAS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE ENGINE STALLED, LOST POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. THIS OCCURRED FIVE TIMES IN A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK. THE ENGINE WOULD RESTART AFTER ONE MINUTE OR MORE. THERE WERE NO SES OR MIL INDICATIONS OR DTC CODES.

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD WITH A 8.1. TWO MONTHS AGO THE TRUCK JUST STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND THEN IMMEDIATELY RE-STARTED. SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE TRUCK SIMPLY SHUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY DIFFICULT TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE OTHER DAY AND SAT THERE FOR 2-3 MINUTES TRYING TO START THE TRUCK. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN OR WHY THIS HAPPENS. MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER BEEN TRIPPED BY THIS PROBLEM. AFTER READING THE TROUBLE CODES AND CONSULTING WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS WE DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR.
