Car is randomly shutting off PLEASE HELP!!!! All right guys I seem to be having a rather annoying problem with my 95 Trans Am. The car just randomly shuts off with out any warning and when I say it shuts off it’s like someone killed the ignition to the car. The funny thing is as soon as the car shuts off I can start it back up immediately with out any problem and whenever the car dies no codes are set at all( according to my scan master). Here is a little info about what I have done so far please note that the car has Bob Baileys LTCC system on the car so there is no Ignition Controls Module. I have replaced the Opti with a brand new Gm unit checked all the ground to the car twice, replaced ignition switch and ignition switch pig tail, I have checked all the wiring going to the LTCC.

Well I suspect since you have checked most of the obvious places, I would dive a bit deeper. You say that it feels like someone basically is just turning the key off, essentially. Bad Ignition Switch? Loose Connector? I would check wiring in and around the steering column, and if you decide to dive into it, replace the ignition switch. I am not going to say this is a VATS problem because I am sure you would have said the Security light is on.
I actually had this problem at one time...driving down the road then just randomly shuts off. How I found the issue was to leave the car running in the drive way and start jiggling/checking wires under the hood. Especially near and around the junction box on the passenger fender well. Come to find out it was a loose/bad wire that when it was sitting a certain way would kill the car. Once I found it I was able to kill the car at will with it.
