98 Pontiac Bonneville intermitanly stalls & won't restart.

When the car won't restart (all it does is crank!), the power windows won't work. Everything else works uninterrupted. The crank sensor was changed. Key & ignition were cleaned, fuel pressure has been checked several times. A friend told me to leave the key in the on position, walk away for 15 minutes, come back & the car should start. I tried it & it started, but most of the time when the car stalls, it's not in a safe location to do this. Please, does anyone know how to correct this problem? Thank you very much!!

SOURCE: I have an electrical problem.

well the window and seat problem is probably a broken wire in the harness between the door and body open rubber boot and inspect and repair
the fuel i would start by checking for power at connector back by fuel tank you should have power with key on for about 10 seconds then turn key off and wait for a few seconds and try if you have power it is probably the fuel pump

SOURCE: Stalling. starts 15 minutes later. runs good for a week.

A friend had a toyota which did the same. The problem was the coil inside the distributor. once he replaced it all was well. The problem was the coil leaking and getting hot and then shutting the engine down. Once it cooled off it would run for about 15 to 30 minutes. He spent several weekends working on it and replacing electronics and finally checked inside the distributor and there was the problem.

98 Pontiac Bonneville intermitanly stalls & won't restart

It could be many things.
When the engine crank but won't start
Retrieve PCM faulty code if any.
Engine need 3 things (Fuel, Air, Fire (spark)
1- Fuel = fuel pump working during the problem you can hear a sound at the fuel tank cap (remove)
All Fuel Injectors working.(Power and the spray).
2- Air = MAF defect (Mass Air Flow) no code will be set
When the engine is running with a screwdriver lightly hit the MAF the engine will stall if it's the problem.
air filter restrictions
3- Fire= Is there spark at all spark plugs wire?

Find out the ground of power windows it could be the same as fuel pump or ignition system (Ground corrosion, high resistor)
and many more.
See good technicians to fix your car..

Hope it helps

98 Pontiac Bonneville stalls intermitanly & won't restart....

The key trick involves the security system. If the chip in the key fails, the security system will prevent the engine from starting.
Have you tried a different key ?

It could be the ignition module in the distributor or the pick up coil mounted under the distributor on the shaft. could also be the coil you may need a mechanic
