After heating up, car would randomly stall. Replaced the crank shaft sensor. Has new starter, fairly new battery and fuel pump. Car is still stalling! Help.

This sounds like it could be the engine coolant temperature sensor which can intermittently short causing the engine to stall. The problem is the sensor starts working again shortly after which does not trigger the check engine light. But we should run the codes to see whats comes up before we begin to find the problem.

Please let us know what you find.
