Vehicle is a 95’ Pontiac Transport.3.8L

Going down the road and the van acts like someone just turned the ignition off.I’m told that a fuel like smell is present when it dies.

I’m also told it throws a Camshaft and Crankshaft sensor code.

Any ideas?

Thanks

-Jon

i would think that the camshaft sensor is dead or close to it. im not sure but i think i remember that if the computer doesnt read the sensor everything get messed up. idk thou. i do remember a truck comming into my work cuz of intermitant stalling. and that was fixed witha fuel pump. i dought that is it cuz that wont throw a code. thats all i know
