Got a 1999 Old Intrigue. The car will seemingly at random shut off.
It happens when the car is warm or cold, but more often when it is
cold. It doesn't seem to be ambient temperature related. It also
will happen, and has happened, at any speed, which is rather
frightening. I took it to a mechanic, but they were not able to
retrieve any codes.

Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on what may be wrong?

This may be related, but sometimes when starting the car nothing
happens. That is, when the key is turned to "Start", the car does not
start, or even power anything in the vehicle as is passes through
"Acc".

Thanks.

Crankshaft position sensor is the common cause of the starting problem.

It sounds like it's a loose connection, probably at the battery but check
all the connections, the thick red & black cables, trace them down.

Given the symptoms you describe, I'd start by suspecting a defective

igniton switch.

Thanks for the info!

Can anyone take a stab at why the car will just shut off while driving?

The problems may be related. I'd have that replaced, and see if the
shutoff problem still occurs. The odds are that the one problem is
causing the other...

I had a Bonneville that had similar symptoms. Problem was an

intermittent crank sensor.

Control module figures that if engine is not turning over why send spark
and fuel.

Good luck hope this helps
