99 Concorde - Intermittent Cut-Out / Stalling
I have a 99 Concorde, 2.7L engine, 130K miles.
I've noticed while driving at highway speeds, I'd occasionally have a momentary hesitation, and have had a couple of occasions where the engine would just cut-out (stall) while at idle.
Yesterday on a 100 mile trip, the engine stalled 3 times while at highway speed, just instantly dropping out without warning, a first.
Is there an obvious suspect or place where I should be looking? I can't figure out if it's something with the ignition or fuel supply. If it matters, it's been very wet and damp here the last couple of days, so I don't know if there might be a connection.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I finally took it in and had a mechanic fix it. Turns out it was the crank sensor, which he said was fairly common. His initial thinking was that it could also have been the cam sensor. I'm not sure how he figured out which one it was, but he did, and I'm damn glad it's fixed.

Hi MadDog and Kevin, Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm having the same problem. Was the check engine light on when your mechanic looked at it? Did he hook it up the computer? Can you please find out how he figured out it was the crankshaft sensor? Also, how do you know for sure that it's fixed?
