92 88 Royale Stalls While Driving

I have a 1992 88 Royale with the 3.8 V6 engine. It has about 104k miles on it currently. For some reason when the engine gets really warm - it will stall out on me. This can happen about 3 times while waiting for a light to turn green. The dangerous part about it is that I have to put the tranny in park before I can start it back up again...

I have read some other posts in that the issue could because of a bad CAM and or CRANK sensor? Can someone confirm this?

The bottom end of the engine was recently re-built and it has a new ignition module. A mechanic that looked at it said it could also be the "fuel pressure regulator" - could this be the cause possibly?

Thanks!

Installed the new CAM sensor yesterday - it was pretty easy...
hopefully this works (fingers crossed).

I should also mention that when I run the air conditioning (yes we need it here in AZ already) it it less likely to stall out on me...

often or should I say most of the time the magnet breaks off and it is a PITA to fix but you could have gotten lucky with just a dead sensor.

I know this isn't a fix, but you should be able to just shift the car into neutral and restart it if it's moving or standing still.

The funny thing is for some reason - the car will not start in neutral. It used to, but I changed out the starter and it wont start like that anymore...

Why wont it start in neutral you think?

Maybe a bad neutral safety switch?
