What would cause a 1997 El Dorado to just die while driving down the road with warning no computer messages but will restart in neutral while coasting?

I'm having the same problem. I replaced the ignition module, battery, mass air filter and the computer and it still stalls. I notice it happens more frequently while driving after or during a rain storm. I am going to have to check the crankshaft sensor and most likely replace them. From what I have read that seems to be a problem related with the eldorado stalling out.
Calibration and computer component in some cases cause the eldorado to stall.
Also, the fuel rail and return line may be leaking, which there has been a recall involved with this issue. This can cause fires and be fatal. The recall number is: 04V110000 Eldorado

Why is coasting dangerous when driving a car?
Because, if the car is in neutral, you have no ability to accelerate pushing the gas pedal.
Will coasting hurt a cars transmission?
I don't believe so. Coasting is basically doing the same thing as driving, only you're not on the gas pedal. If you're driving a manual, then it's basically driving in neutral assuming you're on the clutch.
What is coasting in a car?
Letting gravity roll the car along... as on a hill or gradient.... and with the engine off or the gears in neutral.
How do you get your Jeep Cherokee out of FWD?
put the transmission in neutral and shift the transfer case to 2WD. if the transfer case lever is stuck, try driving forward very slowly (walking speed) then putting the transmission in neutral and shift the transfer case to 2WD while coasting forward. once the transfer case is in 2wd, it may be necessary to disengage the 4wd by driving the vehicle in reverse for a short distance.
You had your car in neutral while coasting down a hill and while coasting at the bottom at about 20-25mph you accidentally shifted into reverse did you seriously damage your transmission?
You would have to try it yourself and see. Please report back your results here.
What is deductive and Inductive approach?
direct good news message or neutral messages
What are the effects of neutral viruses?
If by neutral you mean benign, it only slows down your computer.
When driving a manuel car can you ruin the transmission if your driving and you shift the car in neutral to make a turn?
No, but why would you?
Is it bad to shift car into neutral while moving?
pushing slowly around a parking lot or repair shop lot...no. towing ..always tow with drive wheels off the ground. "coasting"...placing transmission in neutral at highway speeds and coasting downhill, for example, very bad for transmission and also illegal in most jurisdictions. Reason: lubrication of internal components is considerably reduced and results in abnormal wear and early transmission failure. Coasting is classified as not having the vehicle under proper control because of the lack of engine braking capability, and also not being able to accelerate immediately if such action is required. Hope this clarifies the issue.
When driving your 4 wheel drive jeep can you have the 4 wheel drive in neutral when you are driving in regular conditions?
yes
When your car is coasting and slows to 20mph you feel a suuden grab like something suddenly holding your car back you are not using your brakes at all and it does not do it in neutral only in drive Cp?
Automatic transmission is downshifting
Good news or neutral messages?
yes that would be in that really time which it was in here 1 year before mentioned
