The car starts to stumble while I am driving around 35mph, but it has not stalled unless I take my foot off the gas. Usually when it starts to stumble, I head for the nearest side street to get out of traffic. The last two times this has happened, the car stalls when I take my foot off the gas as I am turning the corner. This last time I was able to restart the car after around 10 seconds of cranking and pressing on the gas to keep it going. Once it restarted I did not have any problems driving home.

I am wondering if a failing crank position sensor would cause this problem.

Thanks, Bob.
