Not sure if it is in any way related to past problems, but yesterday I turned onto the road to my work (1 mile to go after 17 miles of driving) and my car stopped dead (no sputtering or anything - the engine just died). I tried cranking it for quite a while but there was no sign of life (as if it was not getting fuel or spark). I called AAA and arranged for a tow, and as I was waiting I would occasionally try to start the car. About 45 minutes after it died, it started right up (but the check engine light was on). I went on to work (after canceling the tow) and after work drove home and dropped the car off at my mechanic. Today he told me that the problem (from the check engine code) was a bad crankshaft sensor.
