Car Dies when Driving
Starts up fine. Driving along and when I come to a stop or slow down my 2008 Crossfire dies. Usually starts right up last night wouldn't start until it sat about 1 hr.
Help Why Why Why?

2004 original owner. This happened to me Once (of course, I was on the other side of town - ugh). Driving smooth and fine and suddenly/quietly the engine turned off while I'm moving at 50 mph. It was the O2 sensor in the engine bay.
There is no way I can see an 02 sensor will shut off an engine. 
.
Most likely the crankshaft position sensor, it can get too hot and that is why it took an hour for the car to start again. Buy a Bosch one only, various part numbers 0031532828, 0261210170 etc. There is an aftermarket version by Bosch that is super cheap do not buy genuine Mercedes or Chrysler.

A bad Oxygen Sensor will cause the car engine to stall. If you park and wait a few mins it'll start back up only to stall out again on you.
I also agree it could be the crankshaft position sensor. but if it isn't... swap the O2.
Good Luck
