The third one happened 2 days ago and engine cannot start up again.
The mechanic told me today that I need a new crank position sensor and also an air mass meter. He quoted 750 dollars for both parts and labor. Now, i got two questions: 1. are these two parts causing the problem 2. is his charge of 750 OK?
Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, the CPS is a common failure and your Air Mass Meter is probably faulty also. The price sounds about right for having it done at a garage. My CPS failed at around 75000 miles. My 2 cents.
