The car was parked (not running or moving) in an open air grocery store parking lot. I was in the grocery store for approximately 20 minutes and came out to find a crowd and a fire crew who had just put out the fire in the hood area of my car. I have photos of the car but they are on my phone and I don't know how to send them to computer.

Engine sometimes cuts off when I stop at a stop light. Dashboard lights stay on. Engine starts when I put car in neutral and push start button with foot on the brake. It has happened 6 times. New spark plugs and air cleaner and fuel injection cleaner have not solved the problem. I suspect that the crank shaft sensor is defective.

When accelerating while turning a corner the engine loses power completely. In a heavy traffic situation this has caused near accidents and oncoming drivers to slam on the brakes. Vehicle begins at a dead stop. 1/2 way thru the turn there is always a complete loss of power and car stalls for several seconds until power returns. This happens every time while accelerating around a corner. Scary
