There might be a problem with the alternator, specifically the diode trio that is inside the alternator. Have your charging system checked. You can do it yourself if you have a voltmeter. Start car and check voltage across the battery terminals. You should get 14.5 volts or higher.
Plz check fuel pump fuse, fuel pump relay. If known to be good, then spray starting fluid into air cleaner duct. If engine starts then probable cause is a faulty fuel pump
if light on dash is on, then it sounds like a bad crank sensor. shuts off while driving down road, then will not start for about 15 minutes. heres more causes:: car shuts off when tempurature gets to normal-- low coolant, failing coolant tempurature sensor, air in water pump, failed radiator fan, it takes 10 to 15 minutes for a car to warm up. check or replace coolant temp. sensor if above is ok. have a good day !
how many miles are on your car ? will it start up after it shuts down or do you have to wait 20 or 30 min. had a problem like this with my own car it had 1600,000 miles on it. do you have any warning light on dash when this happen, if not, it's most likley it is the crank position sensor. it's about $60.00 at the dealership, not fun to put in. also could be a fuel pump problem, have a pressure test done on pump first before you buy a pump it is about $400.00 + $600.00 to put in. I haven't seen to many pump problems without a lot of other issue while driving. If warning light are on, have the computer scanned first.
good luck bro, i have done many CTS's like this and all turned out be the sensor.
You probably ned a new clutch. A good way to check if the clutch is bad. Place the car bumper against something solid and then put the car in gear and if the motor shuts off, then you don't need a clutch. if it does not turn off immedietly, you need a new clutch.
I had this happen to me before. My battery had went out and I had put another in (didn't buy a new one-- it was holiday). It did this exact thing to me. The scary part is once, it was on the interstate going about 75 mph... didn't die but all gauges went to nothing. It turned out that the battery I was using didn't have enough cold cranking amps and was pulling down the alternator too much so the computer shut it down. The one time it didn't... it was because the RPH's were too high. Try checking the battery and alternator... make sure you have the right battery and have an alternator shop test your alternator if the battery is good.
