My 95 auto sometimes shuts off when I driving it. It stops the dash lights illuminate then it starts back up like nothing happened when I turn the key. I think this is a dangerous thing when I cruising on the highway. Anyway does this sound like a maf problem or an 02 sensor. I'm making a scrap book of newbie comments so guys have at it.

I assume you've checked for codes?

I was told that if the check engine light isn't on I wouldn't get any codes. I don't know how true that is.

The only code that should be present with the CEL off is a KS code, really.

Any specific situations, climate conditions, other discernable patterns when this occurs?

mine did the same thing and shifted a bit weird. i found it to be the Mass airflow,MAF the knock sensor wont turn off your car.. so i hear. anyways check where the conection is on your MAF and make sure that the screws are on all the way. i took my screws off and pushed the 3 things i saw sticking out a little more in and fixed my problem. no more turning off car. maybe it could work for you.

dont know if all my info is right but worth a try

I had the exact same problem. extremely scary. especially speeding through curvy North Georgia mountain roads. Mine would cut out almost exclusively when I applied the brakes. Very confusing and frustrating. Finally I discovered that I had corrosion built up on the inside of my battery terminals (no build up at all on the outside)scraped it all off and it was all good for 3 or 4 months. The problem returned so I replaced the battery and terminals. So far, So good.

Anyone ever heard of cam position sensors? Do we have the in our cars?

Yes, and yes.

try cleaning your MAF with CRC Mass AirFlow Sensor! that sounds like your problem to me!
