Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Chrysler LHS 6 cyl Automatic

While driving, my car will die for no apparent reason. It doesnt sputter or anything, it just shuts down. Then it takes forever to start, but when it does start, it acts like nothings wrong. Could it be the fuel pump? If so, how would I go about checking that?

You need to take a fuel pressure test while it's down. That or have starting fluid to see if when it's very fussy will snap it to instantly if only for a test would be good info,

If the fuel pressure test is good, watch your tach while cranking and not starting. If it doesn't move you are looking at a bad crank sensor.
