Why would my car keep shutting off?

My car keeps shutting itself off, even while driving down the road. I have put it on a computer and found 4 different codes. One of which is the crankshaft sensor. Could this be my problem?

This code is not documented so the code reader is giving a false reading.
If the car runs OK and check engine light is not on, I would forget about it.

yes it can stop vehicle from starting,but i would call a mobile mechanic to check it out for you,start changing bits willy nilly and it will cost you more in the long run.

SOURCE: toyota celica shuts off, wont start

I hope it's your timing belt/ chain, and not a blown motor. They don't go far with no oil. The fact that it turns over is a good thing. Was there any oil left in it?

SOURCE: my crankshaft sensor keeps failing on my 1997 nissan altima

One question. How many sensors where actually bad, as in ruined? How were the sensors tested or checked out? Have you looked at any other data.?

Testimonial: "Well i brought it to advanced auto and they ran the diagnostics on the car and it read: blown crankshaft sensor which is causing the car to misfire. "

I own a 2000 Nissan Frontier 4X4. I have not had occasion to use the 4 wheel drive. Can you tell me how to put the truck in 4 wheel drive and take it out? Do not have a manual. Thanks!

Assuming yours is the 2 gear stick layout this is roughly how it works.
ONLY CHANGE BETWEEN 2 AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN STOPPED, IN NEUTRAL AND WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON!!
The smaller gear shift should be to the left of the normal gearstick.
It should be in the fully forward position. This means it is in 2 wheel drive, high ratio, for normal road driving. (Rear wheels).
Pulling the stick back ONE notch engages 4 wheel drive, high ratio. Used for snowy, icy, slippery conditions as well as light off roading. (Keep the speed under 50mph).
Pushing down and back another notch engages neutral in the transfer box. This means ALL drive is DISCONNECTED even if you use the normal gearbox.
**Try to avoid this one**!!
Pulling the stick back the last notch engages 4 wheel drive, LOW ratio. This is for the more extreme off roading conditions such as VERY steep hills. Not usually used in normal day to day driving.
The two fully forward positions, (2High and 4High), will be the ones used the most.

My 1999 the engine keeps just shut off while driving down the road the engine keeps turning but wont crank I put some engine starter in the carb.and it tried to start.could it be the fuel pump

if it was the fuel pump engine should start with starter spray at least for a second or two, so, it sounds like your fuel pump is bad.
turn ignition to run and try hearing the pump run.

Chime keeps going off 2005 f-150 4-4

The chime will keep going off if it doesn't sense if the driver's seat belt is not clicked in. It may also be a bad door switch that shorts while driving down the road.

Shuts down going down the road shuts off completely

vehicle shuts down while driving down road and does not start backup for at least 20 minutes, could be a bad crank sensor. if bad it will start and run fine, but it will keep shutting down until fixed.

Hi. I think you better stay home. No car will do 2 feet of snow.
Unless you know a snowplow driver that is willing to drive you...
Not even 4x4 will do 4 1/2 feet. My advice is stay home till roads are good.

Shuts off will driving, especially if I hit a bumpy road.

check the wires to the fuel pump if they have rubbed against something and the insulation wore through hitting bumps or rain could cause it to short and kick the relay and resets again and will start

Start with gas but shuts off when you let off

buy a couple bottles of gasline antifreeze and put them in the tank and try it again.

Trac light came on

Your transmission probably has some severe problems. If a sensor in the tranny has gone bad and is keeping it in first gear, it won't be able to do anything, not even crank.
